STARTING AND BREAK-IN
STARTING AND BREAK-IN
WARNING
Never start or run the engine in a closed
area. The exhaust fumes are poisonous;
they can cause loss of consciousness and
death in a very short time. Always operate
the machine in a well-ventilated area.
CAUTION:
The carburetor on this motorcycle has a
built-in accelerator pump. Therefore,
when starting the engine, do not operate
the throttle or the spark plug will foul.
Unlike a two-stroke engine, this engine
cannot be kick started when the throttle is
open because the kick starter may kick
back. Also, if the throttle is open the air/
fuel mixture may be too lean for the
engine to start.
Never use the decompression lever after
the engine is started. The engine may be
damaged if you use the decompression
lever while it is running.
Before starting the machine, perform the
checks in the pre-operation check list.
STARTING A COLD ENGINE
1. Inspect the coolant level.
2. Turn the fuel cock to “ON”.
3. Shift the transmission into neutral.
4. Fully open the cold starter knob.
5. Without pulling in the decompression
lever, slowly depress the kickstarter
crank until the compression stroke is
found. When considerable resistance of
the kickstarter crank is felt, the engine is
on the compression stroke. If the engine
is on the exhaust stroke, resistance will
only be felt when the kickstarter crank is
initially depressed, not through the entire
range of depression (as when the engine
is on the compression stroke); therefore,
depress the kickstarter crank a few more
times.
