Starting The Engine - Ducati MONSTER 695 Use And Maintenance Manual

Starting the engine

Notes
Follow the "High ambient temperature" procedure to
start the engine when it is already warm.
Warning
E
Before starting the engine, familiarise yourself with
the controls that you will use when riding.
Normal ambient temperature
(between 10 °C/50 °F and 35 °C/95 °F):
1) Turn the ignition switch to ON (fig. 26). Check that
both the green light N and the red light
instrument panel come on.
Important
The oil pressure warning light should go out a few
seconds after the engine has started (page 11).
Warning
The sidestand should be in rest position (horizontal),
otherwise the safety sensor prevents the engine starting.
Notes
The engine can be started with the sidestand down
and the gearbox in neutral. If starting with a gear engaged,
pull in the clutch lever (in this case the sidestand must be up).
2) Move the cold start lever to position (B, fig. 28).

3) Make sure that the stop switch (1, fig. 27) is in the
RUN position, then press the starter button (2, fig. 27).
This model has servo-assisted starting. To use the servo-
assisted starting feature, press the start button (2) and
release it immediately. When you press button (2) 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 the start button (2) again.
