Step 1
Put the key in the ignition. If the key is already in the ignition, make sure it's turned to the on position.
-
Step 2
Make sure the handlebar kill switch button is in the up position.
-
Step 3
The choke lever is next to the key. It has three positions, down, middle, and up. Put the choke lever in the up position.
-
Step 4
Pull the starter cord until the engine catches.
-
Step 5
Push the throttle down after the engine catches to get the engine revving (smoke will come out the exhaust pipe but the track won't spin).
-
Step 6
Still revving the throttle, put the choke in middle position. The machine will run a little smoother.
-
Step 7
When the machine no longer seems like it will die when you release the throttle, put the choke in the lowest position. This is the driving position.
-
Step 8
Now when you rev the throttle, the track will start to move.
-
Step 9
In extreme cold weather, keep the machine in the high throttle position for a longer period of time, and then keep it in the low position for several minutes before you move the track.
-
Step 10
If you have a track stand, you can run the track (make sure your hands and feet are out of the way) while the machine is on the track stand in order to further warm up the engine.
-
Step 11
Once the engine is warm, the machine will usually restart just by pulling the starter cord while the choke is in the lowest position.
