Starting the Engine

The starter interlock system allows the engine to be started only when the transmission is in
neutral, or when the transmission is in gear with the clutch disengaged (clutch lever pulled
in).
Tip: If the motorcycle runs out of fuel, prime the system before attempting to restart the engine. See
page 107.
1. Perform the Pre-Ride Inspections. See page 81. Properly secure any cargo.
2. Straddle the motorcycle and bring it to the fully upright position.
3. Retract the sidestand.
4. Insert the key into the ignition switch. Turn the key to the ON position.
5. Move the engine stop/run switch to the RUN position. You should hear the fuel pump
run momentarily as it pressurizes the fuel system.
6. If the neutral indicator is not illuminated, shift the transmission to neutral.
