Starter Decompressor Lever
Starting & Stopping the Engine
Basic Operation & Riding
An automatic engine decompression system is
interlocked with the kickstarter to make starting
easier, but if you have difficulty starting the
engine, you may use the manually-operated
starter decompressor lever.
With the throttle fully closed, push down
lightly on the kickstarter until you feel some
resistance.
Pull the starter decompressor lever ( ) in
and push the kickstarter down again slowly
about 1/4 to 1/2 of a full stroke.
Release the starter decompressor lever and
kickstart your motorcycle in the usual
manner.
The starter decompressor lever may also be
used to help restart the engine while your
motorcycle is rolling downhill.
Close the throttle. Pull the clutch lever in and
shift into 2nd or 3rd gear.
With the motorcycle rolling, release the
clutch lever. One of two things should
happen. The engine will start or the engine
will not start and the rear tire will skid.
