Starting procedure
This motorcycle has a fuel-injection engine
with an automatic fast start system. Follow
the procedure indicated below.
Any air temperature
• Press the starter button with the throttle
completely closed.
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
discolouration.
