Starting the Engine

Always follow the proper starting procedure described
below.
This motorcycle is equipped with a side stand ignition
cut-off system. The engine cannot be started if the
side stand is down, unless the transmission is in
neutral. If the side stand is up, the engine can be
started in neutral or in gear with the clutch lever pulled
in. After starting with the side stand down, the engine
will shut off if the transmission is put in gear before
raising the side stand.
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.
Preparation
Before starting, insert the key, turn the ignition switch
to ON and confirm the following:
• The transmission is in NEUTRAL (neutral indicator
light ON).
• The fuel valve is ON.
• The engine stop switch is at
(RUN).
