How To Ride The Motorcycle
98
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 five
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.
Caution
If the low oil pressure warning light/
message 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.
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.
Changing Gears
1. Gear change pedal
Close the throttle while pulling in
the clutch lever. Change into the next
higher or lower gear. Open the throttle
part way, while releasing the clutch
lever. Always use the clutch when
changing gear.
