When the motorcycle is not used for long time:
Due to deterioration of fuel remaining in the fuel line for long
period, engine will be difficult to start until the deteriorated (stale)
fuel is discharged from the fuel line. Repeated kick operation is
required for flushing the fuel line with fresh fuel.
1) Fill the fuel tank more than half full.
2) Shift the transmission into neutral.
3) While keeping the throttle approximately 1/4 open, repeat
kick start operation 30 to 40 times.

condition. However, do not open throttle more than 1/2 as fuel
injection is shut off in wide open throttle in engine start mode.

If the engine fails to start after several attempts, spark plug will
be get wet. In this case, repeat kick start operation 4 to 5 times
