Although the engine has an automatic decompres-
1
sor, it may in some cases be necessary (throttle
body flooding or starting difficulties due to inad-
equate battery charge) to use the manual de-
compressor located on the left-hand side of the
handlebar. In these cases, pull the lever (7) whilst
N
simultaneously pressing the starter button (6), re-
lease the lever (7) keeping the button (6) pressed
and then release the button.

IMPORTANT NOTE IN CASE OF COLD STARTS AT
LOW TEMPERATURES

It is recommended to briefly warm-up the engine at
idle until, after having disengaged the starter, there
is a normal response from the engine when opening
the throttle.
In this way the oil can reach all the surfaces needing
lubrication and the coolant will reach the necessary
temperature for correct engine function.

Avoid overheating the engine.

IMPORTANT*: Never accelerate the engine af-
ter a cold start.
3
WARNING*: Exhaust contains poisonous car-
bon monoxide gas. Never run the engine in a
closed garage or in a confined area.
