Starting
e Caution:
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 mo-
tor. 
Before trying again: Recharge 
the battery.
d Warning:
Do not warm up the engine 
with the motorcycle at a 
standstill — 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.
