Starting the Engine
Warning
Never start the engine or run the en-
gine 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.
Caution
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 pres-
sure will cause severe engine damage.

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.
• Pull the clutch lever fully into the
handlebar.
• Leaving the throttle fully closed,
push the START position on the en-
gine start/stop switch 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.
Note:
• A transponder is fitted within the
key to turn off the engine immobi-
liser. Only have one of the ignition
keys near the ignition switch. Hav-
ing two ignition keys near the
switch may interrupt the signal be-
tween the transponder and the
engine immobiliser. In this situation
the engine immobiliser will remain
active until one of the ignition keys
is removed.
