Info
Do not press the electric starter button until the combi-
nation instrument function check is finished.
When starting, DO NOT open the throttle. If you open
the throttle during the starting procedure, fuel is not
injected by the engine management system and the
engine cannot start.
Press the starter for a maximum of 5 seconds. Wait for
a least 5 seconds before trying again.
This motorcycle is equipped with a safety starting sys-
tem. You can only start the engine if the transmission
is in neutral or if the clutch lever is pulled when a gear
is engaged. If the side stand is folded out and you shift
into gear and release the clutch, the engine stops.

carefully.
Tip
