CONTROL FUNCTIONS
FUEL COCK
The fuel cock supplies fuel from the tank to
carburetor while filtering the fuel. The fuel cock
has the three positions:
OFF: With the lever in this position, fuel will not
flow. Always return the lever to this posi-
tion when the engine is not running.
ON: With the lever in this position, fuel flows
to the carburetor. Normal riding is done
with the lever in this position.
RES: This indicates reserve. If you run out of
fuel while riding, move the lever to this
position. FILL THE TANK AT THE FIRST
OPPORTUNITY. BE SURE TO SET
THE LEVER TO “ON” AFTER REFUEL-
ING.
STARTER LEVER (CHOKE)
When cold, the engine requires a richer air/fuel
mixture for starting. A separate starter circuit,
which is controlled by the starter lever 1, sup-
plies this mixture.
Pull the lever out to open the circuit (for start-
ing) and push the lever in to close the circuit.
FUEL TANK CAP
Remove the fuel tank cap 1 by turning
counter-clockwise.
WARNING
Do not overfill the fuel tank. Avoid spilling
fuel on the hot engine.

WARNING
Before starting the engine, be sure to shift
the transmission into neutral.
NOTE:
This model is equipped with an ignition cir-
cuit cut-off system. In case of electric start-
ing, the engine can be started only when the
transmission is in neutral.
If the engine fails to start by pushing the start
switch, release the switch, wait a few sec-
onds, and then try again. Each starting
attempt should be as short as possible to
preserve the battery. Do not crank the
engine more than 10 seconds on any one
attempt. If the engine does not start with the
starter motor, try using the kickstarter.1. Turn the fuel cock to “ON”.
2. Turn the main switch to “ON”.
3. Shift the transmission into neutral.
4. Operate the starter (choke) and completely
close the throttle grip.
5. Slide the “ENGINE STOP” switch to the
“”.
6. Start the engine by pushing the start switch
or by kicking the kickstarter.
7. After the engine starts, warm up for one or
two minutes. Make sure the stater (choke) is
returned to the original position before riding.
STARTING A WARM ENGINE
To start a warm engine, refer to the “Starting a
cold engine” section. The starter (choke)
should not be used. The throttle should be
opened slightly.
CAUTION:
See “Engine break-in Section” prior to
operating engine for the first time.
WARMING UP
To get maximum engine life, always “warm-up”
the engine before starting off. Never accelerate
hard with a cold engine! To see whether or not
the engine is warm, see if it responds to throttle
normally with the stater (choke) turned off.
WARNING
Before starting off, be sure to turn up or
remove the side stand.
Failure to retract the side stand completely
can result in a serious accident when you
try to turn a corner.
ENGINE BREAK-IN
Brake-in is important to better fit the moving
and sliding parts as well as the installed parts.
It is also important to accustom the rider to the
machine better.
Avoid full-throttle run on a new machine for the
first 5 hours.
After the trial run, check for loose parts, oil
leakage and other problems.
Make full inspection and adjustment especially of
slack cables and drive chain and loose spokes.
CAUTION:
After the break-in period, check every fit-
ting and fastener for looseness.
If any loose is found, retighten it securely.
