CONTROLS AT THE RIGHT HAND GRIP
1) ENGINE STOP SWITCH ( - )
Use the engine stop switch to stop the engine only in case of

control so that you will automatically stop the engine in the
event of a stuck throttle or other engine runaway.
WARNING
If the throttle sticks open, it may cause a collision with
another vehicle, or an upset.
If the throttle sticks, kill the engine with the engine stop
switch located on the right handlebar.
Do not attempt to restart the engine until the throttle has been
repaired and works perfectly. Failure to obey this warning can
lead to a runaway with serious injuries or even death.

opens the throttle when you rotate the throttle grip toward you; the
other closes the throttle when you rotate the grip away from you. It

enhances safety by providing for positive closing of the throttle.
