How to Ride the Motorcycle
• A transponder is fitted within the
key to turn off the engine
immobilizer. To ensure the
immobilizer functions correctly,
always have only one of the
ignition keys near the ignition
switch. Having two ignition keys
near the switch may interrupt the
signal between the transponder
and the engine immobilizer. In this
situation the engine immobilizer
will remain active until one of the
ignition keys is removed.
• In very cold conditions, part open
the throttle to aid cold starting.
Return it to the closed position
once the engine has started.
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 while
the engine is running, and the
transmission is not in neutral then
the engine will stop regardless of
clutch position.
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.
If the low oil pressure warning/low oil level
warning light illuminates after starting the
engine, stop the engine immediately and
investigate the cause. Running the engine
with low oil pressure will cause severe
engine damage.
