 | Place the bike on the center stand (not the side
stand)
This is done to make sure that the bike will not
get away from you when initially started. |
 | Make sure to turn the key switch clockwise to
the “ON” position. |
 | Turn the Safety Shut-off Switch to the “Run”
position. The Safety Shut-off Switch is located on the left handle bar; it is the little red push button. Make sure that this button is “out” or the engine will not start. |
 | Grab either brake lever.
(Using the left brake lever is easier so that you
are able to turn the throttle when starting) |
 | If the carburetor has not been primed, then it may take a few minutes to deliver gasoline to the engine. To avoid draining the battery, use the kick-starter 10-20 times. |
 | Once the kick-starter has been used to 10-20 times the bike should start. If it has not started yet, use the Starter Button on the right handlebar.
Do not hold the starter button for more than 5-10 seconds at a time. Every time it is pressed, give it an additional 5 seconds before pressing it again. |
| Let the bike warm up for 5 to 10 minutes before riding. This will ensure the longevity of the engine. If you have any problems with starting the bike, please refer to our Troubleshooting Page.
