Starting
e Attention:
If you attempt to start the en-
gine when the battery is flat, you 
will hear the relay chattering. 
Further attempts will damage 
the starter relay and starter 
motor. 
Before trying again: recharge 
the battery.
d Warning:
Do not allow the engine to 
idle unnecessarily or for pro-
longed periods
— Risk of overheating or fire. 
Ride away immediately after 
starting the engine.
To avoid overheating the air-
cooled engine and possible 
damage as a result, avoid 
even short warm-up periods 
at a standstill.  Avoid high en-
gine speeds after a cold start.
