OPERATION Engine Break-in Period Starting the Engine 6. Leaving the throttle closed, press and hold the starter button until the engine starts. If the engine does not start within a few seconds after you press the starter button, release the button and wait several seconds. Then press and hold the starter button again. Hold the starter button for as short a time as possible to minimize battery drain, and do not push the starter button for more than 10 seconds at any one time. NOTE: If either the check engine indicator or the low oil pressure indicator does not go out after the engine starts, stop the engine. See either Check Engine Indicator, page 38, or Low Oil Pressure Indicator, page 39. 7. Leave the throttle closed when the fast idle is engaged during warm up. As soon as the engine warms enough to idle smoothly, move the fast idle lever toward the front of the motorcycle until the lever stops. Caution Do not rev the engine or put the transmission in gear immediately after starting the engine. Allow the engine to idle for about one minute after a cold start, or 30 seconds after a warm start to allow the oil to reach all areas requiring lubrication before the engine is put under load. 66
