Starting A Warm Engine; Warming Up - Yamaha Badger YFM80M Owner's Manual

6. Completely close the throttle lever and
start the engine by pushing the start
switch.
NOTE:
If the engine fails to start, release the start
switch, then push it again. Pause a few sec-
onds before the next attempt. Each cranking
should be as short as possible to preserve
battery energy. Do not crank the engine more
than 10 seconds on each attempt.
7. If the engine is started with the starter
(choke) in position 1, the choke lever
should be returned to position 2 to
warm up the engine. If the engine is
started with the starter (choke) in posi-
tion 2, keep the starter (choke) in this
position to warm up the engine.
8. Continue warming up the engine until it
idles smoothly and return the choke lever
to position 3 before riding.

Starting a warm engine

To start a warm engine, refer to the "Starting
a cold engine" section. The choke lever
should not be used. The throttle should be
opened slightly.

Warming up

To get maximum engine life, always warm
up the engine before starting off. Never
accelerate hard with a cold engine! To see
whether or not the engine is warm, check if it
responds to the throttle normally with the
choke lever turned off.
