8 RIDING INSTRUCTIONS 68
– If the engine is killed at an intersection, for example, just pull the clutch lever and
press the E starter button. The transmission does not need to be shifted into neutral.
– Switch off the engine if you expect to be standing for a long time.
– 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
flashing code. The flashing code tells you which component has a fault.
– If the ice symbol appears in the combination instrument, the streets may be icy.
Adjust your speed to the road conditions.
