GENERAL INFORMATION 1-5
When the engine is already warm or restarts:
1) Pull the hot starter lever
1.
2) Kick the engine over, leaving the throttle closed without
using the starter knob.
3) Return the hot starter lever back immediately after the
engine starts.
NOTE:
If the engine fails starting, open the throttle fully and depress the
kick starter lever slowly about 4 – 5 times to clear too rich fuel
mixtures in the engine. Then, kick the engine over, leaving the
throttle closed with the hot starter lever pulled in.
STOPPING THE ENGINE
1) Shift the transmission into neutral.
2) Turn the fuel valve lever to the “OFF” position.
3) Push the engine stop switch
1 to stop the engine.
TRANSMISSION
This motorcycle has a 5-speed transmission. Neutral is located
between low and 2nd. Engage first gear by pressing the lever
down from the neutral position. You can shift into higher gears
by lifting on the shift lever once for each gear. When neutral is
desired, press or lift the lever to a position halfway between low
and 2nd gear.
CAUTION
Racing the engine in neutral will exceed the engine
speed limit. Exceeding the engine speed limit can
damage the engine moving parts.
Do not race the engine at high speed to avoid the
engine damage.
