8. IMPORTANT POINTS AND CAUTIONS FOR STARTING ENGINE

CAUTION:
Please check the oil and fuel levels and make sure they are adequate.
To start the 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.
1. Turn ignition switch key to the "ON" position.
2. Apply hand(foot) rear wheel brake.
3. Do not accelerate, press starter button when the brake is applied.
We care for you! Before you drive off, keep the hand brake applied on the rear wheel.
CAUTION:
If engine can not be started press the kick starter arm for 3~5 times, turn the throttle valve
handle 1/8~1/4 turns, and then press the kick starter arm 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 5 times, 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 when the fuel has been depleted. Then, it is necessary to press the starting
lever or starter button several times. 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.
When starting engine with starting lever.
Turn ignition switch key to the "ON" position. Apply front brake lever. Press the kick starter
forcefully by foot with the throttle valve handle closed.
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 kick starter 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
kick starter arm.
Start the engine with the kick starter arm occasionally to prevent it from loosing its function
because of unused for a long time.
