Triumph Bonneville Bobber 2018 User Manual

How to Ride the Motorcycle
61
To start the engine:
• Check that the engine stop switch
is in the RUN position.
• Make sure the transmission is in
neutral.
• Turn the ignition switch on.
Note:
• When the ignition is switched on,
the instrument warning lights will
illuminate and will then go off
(except those which normally
remain on until the engine starts -
see page 24).
• Pull the clutch lever fully into the
handlebar.
• Leaving the throttle fully closed,
push the starter button until the
engine starts.
The motorcycle is equipped with starter
lockout switches. The switches prevent
the electric starter from operating when
the transmission is not in neutral with
the side stand down.
If the side stand is extended whilst the
engine is running, and the transmission
is not in neutral then the engine will
stop regardless of the clutch lever
position.
Moving Off
To move the motorcycle:
• Pull in the clutch lever and select
first gear.
• Open the throttle a little and let out
the clutch lever slowly.
• As the clutch starts to engage,
open the throttle a little more,
allowing enough engine speed to
avoid stalling.
