Operation
NOTE:
If the engine fails to start, release the key,
and then try starting again. Wait a few
seconds before the next attempt. Each
cranking should be as short as possible to
preserve battery energy. Do not crank the
engine more than 5 seconds on each
attempt.
5. If the engine is started with the starter
(choke) in position ①, the choke should
be returned to Position ② to warm up
the engine. If the engine is started with
the choke in Position ②, keep the choke
in this position to warm up the engine.
6. Continue warming up the engine until it
idles smoothly and return the choke to
position ③ before riding.
CAUTION:
See the "Engine break-in"section prior to
operating the engine for the first time.

Starting a warm engine

To start a warm engine, refer to the"Starting
a cold engine" section. The choke should not
be used. Press the accelerator pedal slightly.
Jump-starting

The battery should be removed and charged
instead. However, if the vehicle must be
jumpstarted, proceed as follows.
1. Turn the key to"OFF".
2. Open the hood. (See pages 8-6 - 8-7for
hood opening and closing procedures.)
3. Remove the battery compartment cover.
4. Using a charged 12V battery, connect
the positive lead of the jumper cable to
the positive terminal of the battery in the
vehicle and the other end of the positive
lead to the positive terminal of the
charged battery.
