To Stop the Engine
1. Engine stop switch
2. Starter button
3. Neutral indicator light
4. ON position
5. Ignition switch
Close the throttle completely.
Select neutral.
Turn the ignition switch OFF.
Select first gear.
Support the motorcycle on a firm, level
surface with the side stand.
Lock the steering.
To Start the Engine
Check that the engine stop switch is in
the RUN position.
Ensure the transmission is in neutral.
Turn the ignition switch ON.
Note:
• When the ignition is switched on, the
tachometer needle will quickly sweep
from zero to maximum and then
return to zero. The instrument
warning lights will illuminate and will
then go off (except those which
normally remain on until the engine
starts – see Warning Lights on
page 26). It is not necessary to wait
for the needle to return to zero
before starting the engine.
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.
