Starting when the engine is cold
1 Open the fuel tap [1].
2 Swing up the side stand or center stand.
3 Put the gear in neutral.
4 Operate the choke [2].
5 Leave throttle closed and kick the kickstarter briskly ALL THE WAY or actu-
ate the E-starter.
– If you want to start the engine, make sure that you always put on sturdy
motorcycle boots in order to avoid injuries. You might slip off the kick-
starter, or the engine may kick back and propel your foot upward with great
force.
– Always kick the kickstarter briskly all the way without opening the throt-
tle. If you do not Kick hard enought, with an open throttle grip, the kick-
back hazard will be higher.
– 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.
– Always verify that the transmission has been set to idle (neutral) before
actuating the starter button. If you start the motorcycle with a gear engaged,
the motorcycle will move forward.
– Maximal period for continuous starting: 5 seconds. Wait at least 5 sec-
onds before trying again.
– Don’t ride your motorcycle with full load and don’t rev up the engine when
cold because the piston is warming up faster than the water cooled cylin-
der and can cause engine damage.
NOTE: If you have trouble starting the motorcycle, this could be due to old
fuel in the float chamber. The easily inflammable components of the new fuels
evaporate during longer periods of standstill.When the motorcycle has been
out of operation for more than a week, it is therefore recommended to drain
the old fuel from the float chamber. The engine will immediately start off when
the float chamber is filled with new fuel.
Starting when the engine is warm
1 Open the fuel tap [1].
2 Swing up the side stand.
3 Put the gear in neutral.
4 Leave throttle closed and kick the kickstarter briskly ALL THE WAY or actuate the E-starter.
What to do when the engine is „flooded“
Unscrew the spark plug and dry it.
NOTE:
The carburetor has an accelerator pump. Every time you open the throttle, fuel will be injected into the intake passage. When starting,
be sure that you open the throttle completely only once.
Starting off
Pull the clutch lever. Put the engine into first gear, slowly release the clutch lever and open the throttle at the same time.
Before you start off, check that the side stand has been swung up fully. If the stand drags on the ground, the motorcycle can go out of
control.
Shifting/Riding
You are now in first gear, refered to as the drive or uphill gear. Depending on the conditions (traffic, hill size, etc.), you can shift to a
higher gear. Close throttle, at the same time pull clutch lever in and shift to the next higher gear. Let clutch lever go again and accel-
erate. If you turned on the choke, make sure you turn it off again as soon as engine is warm.
When you reach full speed through opening the throttle all the way, turn throttle back to 3/4; the speed hardly decreases although the
engine will use less gas. Only give as much gas as the engine can handle. Through quick and high revving of the throttle, the fuel usage
increases.
By shifting down, use the brakes if necessary and close the throttle at the same time. Pull the clutch lever and shift down to the next
gear. Let clutch lever go slowly and open the throttle or shift down again.
