How to Ride the Motorcycle
69
The motorcycle is equipped with starter
lockout switches. The switches prevent
the electric starter from operating when
the transmission is not in neutral with
the side stand down.
If the throttle is open then the bike will
not start.
If the side stand is extended whilst the
engine is running, and the transmission
is not in neutral then the engine will
stop regardless of clutch position.
Moving Off
Pull in the clutch lever and select first
gear. Open the throttle a little and let
out the clutch lever slowly. As the clutch
starts to engage, open the throttle a
little more, allowing enough engine
speed to avoid stalling.
Never start the engine or run the
engine in a confined area. Exhaust
fumes are poisonous and can cause
loss of consciousness and death
within a short period of time. Always
operate your motorcycle in the
open-air or in an area with adequate
ventilation.
Do not operate the starter
continuously for more than
five seconds as the starter motor will
overheat and the battery will become
discharged. Wait 15 seconds between
each operation of the starter to allow
for cooling and recovery of battery
power.
Do not let the engine idle for long
periods as this may lead to
overheating which will cause damage
to the engine.
The low oil pressure warning light
should go out shortly after the engine
starts.
If the low oil pressure warning light
stays on after starting the engine,
stop the engine immediately and
investigate the cause. Running the
engine with low oil pressure will cause
severe engine damage.
