Starting The Engine - Ducati SPORTTOURING ST4s 2005 Manuel D'utilisation Et Entretien

Starting the engine

Note
Follow the "High ambient temperature" procedure to
start the engine when it is warm.
Warning
Before starting the engine, become familiar with the
controls you will need to use when riding.
E
Regular ambient temperature
(10 °C/50 °F to 35 °C/ 95 °F):
1) Move the ignition key to ON (fig. 48). Make sure both
the green light N and the red light
instrument panel come on.
Important
The oil pressure light should go out a few seconds
after the engine has started (page 15).
Warning
The side stand must be fully up (in a horizontal
position) as its safety sensor prevents engine start when
down.
Note
It is possible to start the engine with side stand down
and the gearbox in neutral. When starting the bike with a
gear engaged, pull the clutch lever (in this case the side
stand must be up).
