STARTING THE ENGINE
Always follow the proper starting procedure
described below.
(except NZ type)
This motorcycle can be started with the
transmission in gear by disengaging the
clutch before operating the starter.
(NZ type only)
This motorcycle is equipped with a side
stand ignition cut-off system. The engine
cannot be started if the side stand is down,
unless the transmission is in neutral. If the
side stand is up, the engine can be started in
neutral or in gear with the clutch lever
pulled in. After starting with the side stand
down, the engine will shut off if the
transmission is put in gear before raising
the side stand.

Y our motorcycle's exhaust contains
poisonous carbon monoxide gas. High
levels of carbon monoxide can collect
rapidly in enclosed areas such as a garage.
Do not run the engine with the garage door
closed. Even with the door open, run the
engine only long enough to move your
motorcycle out of the garage.
(XR125LEK)
Do not use the electric starter for more than
5 seconds at a time. Release the start button
for approximately 10 seconds before
pressing it again.
Do not operate the kickstarter while the
engine is running as engine damage could
result. Do not apply excessive force on the
kickstarter.
Fold up the kickstarter after the kickstarter
is returned to the pedal stop.
