Attention
The side stand must be fully up (in a horizontal
position) as its safety sensor prevents engine
starting when down.
Note
It is possible to start the engine with side stand
down and the gearbox in neutral. When starting the
motorcycle with a gear engaged, pull the clutch lever
(in this case the side stand must be up).
Move the red switch (1), on the right side of the
handlebar upwards, and press button (2).
Let the motorcycle start without operating the
throttle control.
The red oil pressure warning light (4, Fig 51) should
go out a few seconds after the engine has started.
Note
If the battery is flat, system automatically
inhibits starter motor cranking operation.
Important
Do not rev up the engine when it is cold. Allow
some time for oil to be heated and reach all points
that need lubricating.
