Starting the engine
Warning
Before starting the engine, familiarise yourself with
the controls that you will use when riding (page 10).
Warning
Never start or run the engine in enclosed space.
Exhaust gases are toxic and may lead to loss of
consciousness or even death within a short time.
1) Turn the ignition key to ON (fig. 46). Check that both
the green light N and the red light
on the instrument
panel come on.
Important
The oil pressure warning light should go out a few
seconds after the engine has started (page 11).
Warning
The sidestand should be in rest position (horizontal),
otherwise the safety sensor prevents the engine starting.
Notes
The engine can be started with the sidestand down
and the gearbox in neutral. If starting with a gear engaged,
pull in the clutch lever (in this case the sidestand must be up).
