GENERAL INFORMATION 23 j Kick Pedal This motorcycle is equipped with a primary kick starting system. When the clutch lever is pulled, the motorcycle can be started with the transmission in any gear. Starting the Engine • Shift the transmission into neutral. WARNING Riding with the side stand can cause a crash resulting in injury. Do not start the engine or attempt to ride the motorcycle when the side stand is installed. 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. A. Kick Pedal
