OPERATION
Engine Break-in Period
Starting the Engine
4. Set the engine stop/run switch to the RUN position. You should hear the fuel pump run momentarily as it
pressurizes the fuel system. NOTE: If the motorcycle was run completely out of fuel, prime the system as
instructed on page 71.
5. Leaving the throttle closed, press and hold the starter button until the engine starts. If the engine does not start
within a few seconds after you press the starter button, release the button and wait several seconds. Then press
and hold the starter button again. Hold the starter button for as short a time as possible to minimize battery
drain, and do not push the starter button for more than 10 seconds at any one time.
NOTE: If either the check engine indicator or the low oil pressure indicator does not go out after the engine
starts, stop the engine. See either Check Engine Indicator, page 42, or Low Oil Pressure Indicator, page 43.
Caution
Do not rev the engine or put the transmission in gear immediately after starting the engine. Allow the engine to
idle for about one minute after a cold start, or 30 seconds after a warm start to allow the oil to reach all areas
requiring lubrication before the engine is put under load.
