How to Ride the Motorcycle
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
clutch position.
Moving Off
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.
Never start the engine or run the engine in
a confined area. Exhaust fumes are
poisonous and can cause loss of
consciousness and death within a short
period of time. Always operate your
motorcycle in the open-air or in an area
with adequate ventilation.
Do not operate the starter continuously for
more than 5 seconds as the starter motor
will overheat and the battery will become
discharged. Wait 15 seconds between each
operation of the starter to allow for cooling
and recovery of battery power.
Do not let the engine idle for long periods
as this may lead to overheating which will
cause damage to the engine.
The low oil pressure warning light should
go out shortly after the engine starts.
If the low oil pressure warning light stays
on after starting the engine, stop the
engine immediately and investigate the
cause. Running the engine with low oil
pressure will cause severe engine damage.
