HOW TO RIDE THE MOTORCYCLE
108
NOTICE
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 page36).
A transponder is fitted within the key
to turn off the engine immobiliser. To
make sure the immobiliser 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 immobiliser. In this situation
the engine immobiliser will remain
active until one of the ignition keys is
removed.
▼ Leaving the throttle fully closed,
push the starter button until the
engine starts.
▼ Slowly release the clutch lever.
The motorcycle is equipped with starter
lockout switches. The switches prevent
the electric starter from operating when
a gear is engaged 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.
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.
