8. IMPORTANT POINTS AND CAUTIONS FOR STARTING ENGINE

CAUTION:
Please check the engine oil and fuel volume are adequate or not before starting engine.
To start engine the main parking stand must be firmly on the ground and the brake is
applied on the rear wheel to prevent the motorcycle from moving forward suddenly.
Turn ignition switch key to the "ON" position.
1. Apply hand (foot) rear wheel brake.
2. Do not accelerate, press starter button when
the brake is applied.
¡ i We care for you! Before drive off, keep the
hand (foot) brake applied on the rear wheel.¡ j
CAUTION:
If engine can not be started after starter motor running for 3~5 seconds, turn the throttle valve
handle 1/8~1/4 turns, and then press starter button again for an ease start.
In order to avoid damaging the starter motor, please do not press the starter button
continuously over 15 seconds.
If engine still can not be started after pressing starter button over 15 seconds, stop and wait
for 10 seconds before start it again.
It is harder to get the engine started after the motorcycle has been left idle for a long time or
after refueling only after the fuel has been depleted. Then, it is necessary to press starting
lever or starter button several times, and keep the throttle valve handle at the close position
to start the engine.
It may need several minutes to warm up engine if it is a cold start.
Exhaust contains harmful gases (CO), therefore please start the engine at a well ventilated
place.
¡ i When starting engine with starting lever¡ j
After step 1 is completed, press the starting lever forcefully by foot with the throttle valve handle at the
close position.
If engine is difficult to start with the starting lever when the engine is cold, rotating the throttle valve
1/8~1/4 turns will make the start easier.
Put the starting lever back to its original position after the engine has been started.
CAUTION:
Firmly support the motorcycle with the main parking stand before starting the engine with the
starting lever.
Start engine with the starting lever occasionally to prevent it from loosing its function
