Starting up the engine (02_06, 02_07, 02_08)

The vehicle is supplied with an ignition cut-off system, activated by the emergency
cut-off switch. The engine cannot be started if the ignition cut-off switch is in the
OFF position.
A running engine automatically shuts off when the emergency stop switch is set to
OFF.
The vehicle is equipped with automatic transmission with direct drive, so that starting
is effected by turning the throttle grip to idle speed; to start-off from stationary position,
progressively twist the throttle grip. The vehicle is equipped with an electrical fuel
02_06
pump that switches on automatically as soon as the engine is started. The vehicle has
a front suspension locking system; a sensor placed under the saddle will prevent the
vehicle motion, but not ignition, if the rider is not seated in riding position.
In order to start the vehicle:
1. Rest the vehicle on its centre stand, ensuring the rear wheel is not touching the
ground.
2. Maintain the throttle grip "P" completely untwisted.
