Stopping the Engine
Caution
The engine should normally be
stopped by turning the ignition switch
to the OFF position.
The engine stop switch is for
emergency use only.
Do not leave the ignition switched on
with the engine stopped. Electrical
damage may result.
To stop the engine:
• Close the throttle completely.
• Select neutral.
• Turn the ignition switch off.
• Select first gear.
• Position the motorcycle on a firm,
level surface with the side stand
(see page 87).
• Lock the steering (see page 53).
Starting the Engine
Warning
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 the motorcycle in the
open air or in an area with adequate
ventilation.
Caution
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.
Caution
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.
