Starting the engine

This motorcycle is equipped with an automatic starter (stepper motor). This allows automation of the engine warmup procedure.
For information on the operation of the Stepper motor, see Sect. M 3.
Turn the ignition switch to ON. Make sure both the green light and the red light on the instrument panel come on (Sect. P 7,
Instrument panel).
Allow the engine to start on its own, without turning the throttle twistgrip.
Important
The oil pressure warning light should go out a few seconds after the engine has started. If the light stays on, stop the engine and
check the oil level (Sect. P 7, Instrument panel).
Never start the engine when the oil pressure is too low.
Notes
This model is equipped with servo-assisted starting; this function provides servo-assisted engine starting by pressing and
immediately releasing button (1). When you press button (1) the starter motor runs automatically for a period of time that varies
according to the engine temperature.
The system disengages the starter motor as soon as the engine starts. If the engine fails to start, wait at least 2 seconds before
pressing button (1) again.
Important
Do not run the engine at high speed when cold. Allow some time for the oil to warm up and reach all points that need lubricating.
Warning
The engine can be started with the sidestand down and the gearbox in neutral. When starting the engine with a gear engaged,
pull in the clutch lever (in this case the sidestand must be in the raised position).
