STARTING WHEN THE ENGINE IS COLD
1 Open the fuel taps (1).
2 Swing up the side stand or center stand.
3 Put the gear in neutral.
4 Operate the choke (2).
5 Leave throttle closed and kick the kickstarter briskly ALL THE
WAY or actuate the E-starter.
WARNING: If you want to start the engine, make sure
that you always put on sturdy motorcycle boots in order
to avoid injuries. You might slip off the kickstarter, or the
engine may kick back and propel your foot upward with
great force.
Always kick the kickstarter briskly all the way without
opening the throttle. If you do not Kick hard enought,
with an open throttle grip, the kick-back hazard will be
higher.
Do not start the engine and allow it to idle in a closed
area. Exhaust fumes are poisonous and can cause loss of
consciousness and death. Always provide adequate venti-
lation while the engine is running.
Always verify that the transmission has been set to idle
(neutral) before actuating the starter button. If you start
the motorcycle with a gear engaged, the motorcycle will
move forward.
CAUTION: Be sure to kick up the side stand before you
start the engine to avoid any damage.
Maximal period for continuous starting: 5 seconds. Wait
at least 5 seconds before trying again.
Don’t ride your motorcycle with full load and don’t rev
up the engine when cold because the piston is warming
up faster than the water cooled cylinder and can cause
engine damage.
STARTING WHEN THE ENGINE IS WARM
1 Open the fuel tap (1).
2 Swing up the side stand.
3 Put the gear in neutral.
4 Leave throttle closed and kick the kickstarter briskly ALL THE
WAY or actuate the E-starter.
NOTE: Pull the hot start knob if the engine won't start.
WHAT TO DO WHEN THE ENGINE IS “FLOODED”
In the event of a fall, more fuel than necessary may get into the
engine. In order to "pump the engine free", pull the hand decom-
pression lever, fully rev up the engine, actuate the kickstarter 5 to
10 times or actuate the E-starter 2 times for 5 seconds each. Then,
start the engine as described above.
If the engine fails to start, unscrew the spark plug and dry it.
NOTE: The carburetor has an accelerator pump. Every
time you open the throttle, fuel will be injected into the
intake passage. When starting, be sure that you open the
throttle completely only once.
STARTING OFF
Pull the clutch lever. Put the engine into first gear, slowly release
the clutch lever and open the throttle at the same time.
WARNING: Before you start off, check that the side
stand has been swung up fully. If the stand drags on the
ground, the motorcycle can go out of control.
