Starting the engine
ECA10251
See page 5-4 for engine break-in in-
structions prior to operating the ve-
hicle for the first time.
In order for the ignition circuit cut-off
system to enable starting, the side-
stand must be up.
See page 3-18 for more information.
1. Turn the main switch on.
The engine trouble warning
light and the coolant temper-
ature warning light should
come on for a few seconds,
then go off.
The ABS warning light should
come on and stay on until the
vehicle reaches a traveling
speed of 10 km/h (6 mi/h).
ECA15486
If a warning light does not come on
initially when the main switch is
turned on, or if a warning light re-
mains on, see page 3-3 for the corre-
sponding warning light circuit
check.
2. Close the throttle completely.
3. While applying the front or rear
brake, push the start switch.
If the engine does not start, re-
lease the start switch, wait a few
seconds, and then try again. Each
starting attempt should be as
short as possible to preserve the
battery. Do not crank the engine
more than 10 seconds on any one
attempt.
