Exhaust gases are poisonous and inhaling them may result in unconsciousness andlor death.
Note
-
When
running the engine, always make sure there
is
sufficient ventilation, and do not start or run the engine in
an
enclosed
space without an effective exhaust extraction system.
Engine
failure
High engine speeds in cold engines have a negative effect
on
the service
life
of the engine.
-Always warm up the engine at low engine speeds.
•
Info
I
If
the motorcycle is unwilling
to
start, the cause may be old fuel in the float chamber. The flammable elements of the fuel
evaporate after a long time of standing.
If
the float chamber is filled with fresh fuel, the engine starts immediately.
Press
the starter for a maximum of 5 seconds. Wait for a least 5 seconds before trying again.
