Starting the Engine

Always follow the proper starting procedure described
below.
Your motorcycle's exhaust contains poisonous carbon
monoxide gas. High levels of carbon monoxide can
collect rapidly in enclosed areas such as a garage.
Do not run the engine with the garage door closed.
Even with the door open, run the engine only long
enough to move your motorcycle out of the garage.
Do not use the electric starter for more than
5 seconds at a time. Release the starter button for
approximately 10 seconds before pressing it again.

Before starting, insert the key, turn the ignition switch
ON and confirm the following:

light ON).
