the engine by pushing the start switch.
NOTE:
If the engine fails to start, release the start switch,
then push it again. Pause a few seconds before
the next attempt. Each cranking should be as short
as possible to preserve battery energy. Do not
crank the engine more than 10 seconds on each
attempt.

position to warm up the engine.

smoothly and return the starter (choke) to po-
sition 3 before riding.
