»
Starting when the engine is cold
1 Open fuel tap [1] .
2 Put the gear in neutral
3 Activate the cold-starting aid (choke) [2].
4 Leave throttle closed and kick down the kickstarter vigorously all the way.
– To avoid injury when starting the engine, always wear strong bikers boots!You
may slip off the kickstarter, or the engine may kick back if you do not kick
hart enough.
– Check for power transmission at temperatures below 0°C (32°F) before
you actuate the kickstarter. If you depress the kickstarter without feeling
any resistance, power ist not being transmitted. This could cause injuries.
– Do not start the engine and allow it to idle in a closed area. Exhaust fumes
are poisonous and can cause loss of consciousness and death. Always pro-
vide adequate ventilation while the engine is running.
Do not ride your motorcycle at full load and do not rev up the engine when
cold. since the piston warms up and expands faster than the water cooled
cylinder, this might cause engine damage. always let engine idle until warm
or drive it warm at low r.p.m. speeds.
NOTE:
The highly inflammable components in modern fuels volatilize if left stand-
ing for longer periods of time. If the motorcycle has not been used for over
1 week, the fuel should be drained from the float chamber. The engine will
start up immediately if the float chamber is filled with fresh, ignitable fuel
Starting when the engine is warm
1 Open fuel tap
2 Put the gear in neutral
3 Leave throttle closed and kick down kickstarter vigorously all the way.
What to do when the engine is “flooded“
1 Close fuel tap
2 Start engine with full throttle. If necessary, unscrew spark plug and dry it.
3 Once the engine is running, open fuel tap again.
Starting off
Pull the clutch lever. Put the engine into first gear, slowly release the clutch
lever and accelerate at the same time.
Always make sure the side stand is kicked all the way up or the plug-in stand
removed before you let your child drive off. The motorcycle could run out of
control if the stand touches the ground.
Shifting/Riding
You are now in first gear, referred to as the drive or uphill gear. Depending on
the conditions (traffic, hill size, etc.), you can shift to a higher gear. Turn down
the throttle, at the same time pull clutch lever in and shift to the next higher
gear. Let clutch lever go again and open the throttle. If you turned on the
choke, make sure you turn it off again as soon as engine is warm.
