TIP
This model is equipped with a lean an-
gle sensor to stop the engine in case of
a turnover. In this case, the engine
trouble warning light will come on but
this is not a malfunction. Before re-
starting the engine, turn the main
switch off and then back on to reset the
engine trouble warning light. Failing to
do so will prevent the engine from
starting even though the engine will
crank when pushing the start switch.
