28 GENERAL INFORMATION j NOTICE This motorcycle is designed for competition use only. Therefore, the radiator does not incorporate a coolant reserve tank or cooling fan. Prolonged idling of the engine with no airflow through the radiator can cause coolant loss and engine overheating resulting in possible engine damage. Any riding conditions that increase engine temperature will further reduce idling time before coolant loss occurs. These conditions include high ambient temperature, sandy or muddy terrain, or other conditions causing high engine loads at low speeds. Furthermore, warming the engine up excessively before operation, or leaving idling with the hot engine temperature after operation results in the engine overheating, too. When engine is cold Pull up the choke knob. A. Choke Knob the engine over, leaving the throttle closed. • Kick after the engine has started, do not push • Even back immediately the choke knob until the engine is thoroughly warmed up. • ○If the engine is flooded, kick it over with the throttle fully open until it starts. ○When the clutch lever is pulled, the motorcycle can be started with the transmission in any gear. NOTE • When engine is already warm When the engine is already warm or on hot days, open the throttle part way instead of using the choke knob.

When the engine is already warm or on hot days,
open the throttle part way instead of using the
choke knob.
