Starting procedure
This motorcycle has a fuel-injection engine
with an automatic choke.
Follow the procedure indicated below.
Any air temperature
• With the throttle completely closed, press
the starter button
The engine will not start if the throttle is fully
open (because the electronic control module
cuts off the fuel supply).
Even if the engine coolant stays below the
specified temperature, the cooling fan
sometimes starts up running when you rev up
the engine, but this is normal.
Snapping the throttle or fast idling for more
than about 5 minutes at normal air
temperature may cause exhaust pipe
discolouration.
Flooded engine
If the engine fails to start after repeated
attempts, it may be flooded.
1. Leave the engine stop switch set to
(RUN).
2. Open throttle fully.
3. Press the start button for 5 seconds.
4. Follow the normal starting procedure.
5. If the engine starts with unstable idle,
open the throttle slightly.
If the engine does not start, wait for 10
seconds, then follow steps 1-4 again.
