kick-start lever to start the engine until the battery is serviced.

2. Shift the transmission to neutral.
3. Lock the parking brake.

A 10/12mm wrench is provided in the tool kit for removing
or installing the lever. If not installed, make sure the rubber

lever under the seat when it's not installed.

6. Turn the key to ON.
