Starting A Warm Engine - Yamaha XT500E Owner's Manual

NOTE:
If the engine fails to start, release the
start switch, wait a few seconds, and
then try again. Each starting attempt
should be as short as possible to pre-
serve the battery. Do not crank the
engine more than 10 seconds on any
one attempt.
6. After starting the engine, move
the starter (choke) knob back
halfway.

For maximum engine life, always
warm the engine up before starting
off. Never accelerate hard when
the engine is cold!
OPERATION AND IMPORTANT RIDING POINTS
