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 mo-
tor.
Before trying again: recharge
the battery.
d Warning:
Do not allow the engine to
idle unnecessarily or for pro-
longed periods — risk of over-
heating 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.
