To Stop the Engine
Close the throttle completely.
Select neutral.
Turn the ignition switch off.
Select first gear.
Support the motorcycle on a firm, level
surface with the side stand (see
page69
).
Lock the steering (see
page42
).
Caution
The engine should normally be stopped
by turning the ignition switch to the
OFF position. The engine stop switch is
for emergency use only. Do not leave
the ignition switched on with the
engine stopped. Electrical damage may
result.
To Start the Engine
Check that the engine stop switch is in
the RUN position.
Ensure 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 'Warning Lights' on
page12
).
Pull the clutch lever fully into the
handlebar.
Leaving the throttle fully closed, push
the starter button until the engine
starts.
Warning
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.
Caution
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.
