CRF230F • CRF230F (U Type)
Starting the Engine
Always follow the proper starting procedure described
below.
This motorcycle can be started with the transmission
in gear by disengaging the clutch before operating
the starter.
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 start button for approximately
10 seconds before pressing it again.
NOTICE
In very cold areas, it may be difficult to start the
engine, probably because the fuel mixture is frozen
in the carburetor.
Preparation
Before starting, insert the key and turn the ignition
switch ON.
Make sure that the transmission is in neutral. Turn
the fuel valve ON.
Starting Procedure
