Starting the Engine
NOTE: If starting the engine while in gear, apply the hand brake and squeeze the clutch lever fully to
disengage the clutch. If starting the engine while in neutral, the neutral indicator light should
be on. If it isn't, disengage the clutch and shift the foot pedal to find neutral. See page 64.

onds. Release the start button immediately when the engine starts.
NOTE: Fuel is injected into the intake passage each time the throttle lever is depressed. Do not
depress the throttle lever while starting the engine. Do not depress the throttle lever when the
engine is stopped.
NOTE: Excessive engagement may result in starter damage.
10. If the engine does not start, wait five seconds after releasing the start button, then acti-
vate the starter for another five seconds. Repeat until the engine starts.
NOTE: If the engine does not start, review the engine troubleshooting information beginning on page

for service.
