ENGINE START (TC)

While the engine is cold, i.e., after the motorcycle has not been
used for a while or in low ambient temperatures, operate in the
following manner:
1) pull the clutch lever (1);
2) pull the starter lever (2);
3) shift gear pedal (3) to neutral position then release the
clutch control level;
4) COMPLETELY lower the pedal (4) until the engine starts.Bring
the starter lever (2) back to its original position as soon as
the motor can idle. When starting with an already warmed up
engine DO NOT USE the starter. When a cold engine has just
been started, do not increase revs, to ensure an adequate oil
warm-up and circulation.

IMPORTANT NOTE IN CASE OF COLD STARTS AT
LOW TEMPERATURES
It is recommended to briefly warm-up the engine at idle until,
after having disengaged the starter, there is a normal response
from the engine when opening the throttle.
In this way the oil can reach all the surfaces needing lubrication
and the coolant will reach the necessary temperature for correct
engine function. Avoid overheating the engine.
IMPORTANT
Never accelerate the engine after a cold start.
WARNING*: Exhaust contains poisonous car-
bon monoxide gas. Never run the engine in
a closed garage or in a confined area.
