Starting When The Engine Is Cold; Starting When The Engine Is Warm; What To Do When The Engine Is "Flooded; Starting Off - HUSABERG "05 Owner's Manual

STARTING WHEN THE ENGINE IS COLD

1 Open the fuel taps (1).
2 Swing up the side stand or center stand.
3 Put the gear in neutral.
4 Operate the choke (2).
5 Leave throttle closed and kick the kickstarter briskly ALL THE WAY or
actuate the E-starter.
WARNING: If you want to start the engine, make sure that you
always put on sturdy motorcycle boots in order to avoid inju-
ries. You might slip off the kickstarter, or the engine may kick
back and propel your foot upward with great force.
Always kick the kickstarter briskly all the way without ope-
ning the throttle. If you do not Kick hard enought, with an open
throttle grip, the kick-back hazard will be higher.
Do not start the engine and allow it to idle in a closed area.
Exhaust fumes are poisonous and can cause loss of cons-
ciousness and death. Always provide adequate ventilation
while the engine is running.
Always verify that the transmission has been set to idle (neu-
tral) before actuating the starter button. If you start the
motorcycle with a gear engaged, the motorcycle will move
forward.
CAUTION: Be sure to kick up the side stand before you start
the engine to avoid any damage.
Maximal period for continuous starting: 5 seconds. Wait at
least 5 seconds before trying again.
Don't ride your motorcycle with full load and don't rev up the
engine when cold because the piston is warming up faster
than the water cooled cylinder and can cause engine damage.

STARTING WHEN THE ENGINE IS WARM

1 Open the fuel tap (1).
2 Swing up the side stand.
3 Put the gear in neutral.
4 Leave throttle closed and kick the kickstarter briskly ALL THE WAY or
actuate the E-starter.
NOTE: Pull the hot start knob if the engine won't start.

WHAT TO DO WHEN THE ENGINE IS "FLOODED"

In the event of a fall, more fuel than necessary may get into the engine.
In order to "pump the engine free", pull the hand decompression lever,
fully rev up the engine, actuate the kickstarter 5 to 10 times or actuate
the E-starter 2 times for 5 seconds each. Then, start the engine as des-
cribed above.
If the engine fails to start, unscrew the spark plug and dry it.
NOTE: The carburetor has an accelerator pump. Every time
you open the throttle, fuel will be injected into the intake pas-
sage. When starting, be sure that you open the throttle com-
pletely only once.

STARTING OFF

Pull the clutch lever. Put the engine into first gear, slowly release the clutch
lever and open the throttle at the same time.
WARNING: Before you start off, check that the side stand has
been swung up fully. If the stand drags on the ground, the
motorcycle can go out of control.
