Cold Start Lever - Ducati Monster 696 Owner's Manual

Cold start lever

The choke control is used to favour the engine cold
start and increase the number of rpm at idle, after
start-up.
Use the cold-start lever while the engine is cold (1 or
max. 2 T-oil bars with the engine on). The cold-start
lever is adjusted during engine warm-up so as to
guarantee approximately 1500 rpm at idle.
Operating positions of the control:
A) = control not active;
B) = control fully active.
The lever may be set also at intermediate positions in
order to follow the gradual warming up of the engine
(see page 96).
Warning
Do not use this device if the engine is warm. Do
not travel with the cold-start control active.
