8 RIDING INSTRUCTIONS 52
– If the engine stalls (e.g. at a crossroads), just pull the clutch lever and press the elec-
tric starter button. You do not have to shift into neutral.
– Switch off the engine if you expect to be standing for a long time.
– Avoid frequent and longer slipping of the clutch. This heats the engine oil, the engine
and the cooling system.
– Ride with a lower engine speed instead of with a high engine speed and a slipping
clutch.
– If the FI warning lamp (MIL) lights up during a trip, stop immediately. When you shift to
neutral, the FI warning lamp (MIL) starts to flash.
Info
From the flashing rhythm, you can derive a two-digit number, the so-called blink
code. The blink code tells you which component has a fault.
