Starting The Engine - SWM SM 500 R E4 2018 Manuel - Utilisation - Entretien

STARTING THE ENGINE

While the engine is cold, i.e., after the motorcycle
has not been used for a while or in low ambient
temperatures, operate in the following manner:
1) Place ignition key (1) to ON position;
2) pull the clutch lever (2);
3) position the gearbox pedal (3) in neutral;
4) Check that the button (4) is in the out position
and press it, followed by the start button (5).
When a cold engine has just been started, do not
increase revs, to ensure an adequate oil warm-
up and circulation.
NOTE
A safety switch is mounted on the clutch lever's
support, which ONLY allows the engine to be start-
ed with the clutch lever pulled.
With the stand lowered, the bike can only be start-
ed with the gear in neutral.

IMPORTANT NOTE IN CASE OF COLD START AT
LOW TEMPERATURES
It is recommended to heat briefly with motor ticking
over, until there is normal response from the motor
to the openings of the throttle.
In this way, the oil can reach all the surface
requiring lubrication and the coolant can reach the
temperature required for correct engine function.
Avoid warming up the engine for an excessive
period of time.
