Starting Procedure
This motorcycle has a fuel-injected engine
with an automatic fast idle. Follow the
procedure indicated below.
Any Air Temperature:
Press the start button with the throttle
completely closed.
The engine will not start if the throttle is
fully open (because the electronic control
module cuts off the fuel supply).
Snapping the throttle or fast idling for more
than about 5 minutes at normal air tempera-
ture may cause exhaust pipe discoloration.
