tion (1), the choke should be returned to posi-
tion (2) to warm up the engine. If the engine is
started with the choke in position (2), keep the
choke in this position to warm up the engine.

gine up before starting off. Never accelerate
hard when the engine is cold!

before riding.
TIP
The engine is warm when it responds normally to
the throttle with the choke turned off.
