INSTRUCTIONS FOR USING THE MOTORCYCLE
STARTING THE ENGINE
While the engine is cold, i.e., after the motorcycle
has not been used for a while or in low ambient
temperatures, operate in the following manner:
1) set ignition key (1) in IGNITION position (the buzz
that you hear when you turn the key to IGNITION
is caused by the fuel pump which puts the feed-
ing system under pressure);
2) pull the starter knob (2);
3) pull the clutch lever (3);
4) shift the gear pedal (4) into neutral position;
5) Check that the button (5) is in the out position
and press it, followed by the start button (6).
Put the knob (2) in its initial position as soon as
the engine is idling.
When starting with an already warmed up en-
gine DO NOT USE the starter. When a cold engine
has just been started, do not increase revs, to
ensure an adequate oil warm-up and circulation.
NOTE
A safety switch is fitted on the clutch lever support
that allows starting ONLY when the clutch lever is
pulled.
