Starting & Stopping The Engine; Preparation - Honda NSA700A 2009 Owner's Manual

Always follow the proper starting
procedure described below.
For your safety, avoid starting or operating
the engine in an enclosed area such as a
garage. Your motorcycle's exhaust
contains poisonous carbon monoxide gas
which can collect rapidly in an enclosed
area and cause illness or death.
Your motorcycle is equipped with a side
stand ignition cut-off system. If the side
stand is down, the engine cannot be started
unless the N-D shift switch is in the N
(neutral) position before raising the side
stand.
Starting & Stopping the Engine
Do not use the electric starter for more
than 5 seconds at a time. Release the start
button for approximately 10 seconds
before pressing it again.

Preparation

Before starting, insert the key, turn the
ignition switch ON, and confirm the
following:
The rear wheel is locked by applying
the parking brake lever.
The engine stop switch is set to RUN.
Raise the side stand.
