Starting The Engine - Honda CTX200 Owner's Manual

STARTING THE ENGINE

Always follow the proper starting procedure
described below.
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.

closed. Even with the door open, run the
engine only long enough to move your
motorcycle out of the garage.
Do not use the electric starter for more than
5 seconds at a time. Release the starter
button for approximately 10 seconds before
pressing it again.
Preparation
Before starting, insert the key, turn the
ignition switch ON and confirm the
following:

(neutral indicator light ON).
The engine stop switch is at RUN.
The fuel valve is ON.
