Starting & Stopping The Engine; Preparation - Honda 2009 FSC600 Owner's Manual

Always follow the proper starting
procedure described below.
For your safety, avoid starting or operating
the engine in an enclosed area such as a
garage. Your scooter's exhaust contains
poisonous carbon monoxide gas which can
collect rapidly in an enclosed area and
cause illness or death.
Your scooter is equipped with a side stand
ignition cut-off system. If the side stand is
down––the engine cannot be started.
Do not use the electric starter for more
than 5 seconds at a time. Release the start
button for approximately 10 seconds
before pressing it again.
Starting & Stopping the Engine
Operate the start button for slightly longer
than usual without opening the throttle if
the scooter has been left standing for a
long time or when the fuel tank has just
been refilled.

Preparation

Before starting, insert the key, turn the
ignition switch ON, and confirm the
following:
The engine stop switch is set to RUN.
The low oil pressure indicator is ON.
The PGM-FI malfunction indicator
lamp (MIL) is OFF.
The high coolant temperature indicator
is OFF.
The V-matic indicator is OFF.
