Starting the engine

As you turn the ignition switch to the ON position, the instruments
and the warning lights will go through the self-diagnostic cycle.
During this phase, make sure that all the warning lights on the
dashboard come on.
One of the following conditions must be verified, in order that the
ignition switch system allows engine starting:
• The gears are in neutral.
• The gears are engaged, the clutch lever is pulled and the side stand
is up.
• Press the start button without turning the throttle twist grip.
• As soon as the engine starts, release the button.
DANGER
Do not press the start button for longer than 5
consecutive seconds.
Avoid warming up the engine while the vehicle is
stationary.
It is advisable to bring the engine to the working
temperature by riding at reduced speed.
To ensure the maximum life of the engine, never
speed up at full throttle when the engine is cold.
