start switch, then push the start switch
again. Pause a few seconds before the

coil starter to start the engine.

8. Continue warming up the engine until
it idles smoothly and return the starter
(choke) to position 3 (closed) before
riding.

whether or not the engine is warm, check if
it responds to the throttle normally with
the starter (choke) turned off.
