Rush Motorcycle Safety Coordinator Illinois Department of Transportation Here are some tips on how to properly start your motorcycle. Memorize the "FINE-C" pre- start routine for safer starts: F - Fuel supply valve on. I -- Ignition switch on. N - Cycle in neutral. E -- Engine cut-off switch on "Run". C - Choke in "On" position (if the engine is cold). After completing the FINE-C routine, extend the kickstarter and place your foot on it with the pedal slightly behind the ball of your foot. Next, open the throttle slightly. You should, however, first consult your owner's manual because this procedure is not recommended for some motorcycles when the choke is used. Thrust the kickstarter lever down all the way by quickly extending your leg. Don't be timid, kick hard. Raise your foot slowly to let the lever come up. Don't let the lever snap back by itself. Repeat this process if the engine doesn't start. After the engine starts, ad­ just the choke during warm-up to prevent the engine from racing. Swing the kickstarter lever back to its original position. Be sure to turn the choke all. the way off before riding. If the engine faite 'td start after several kicks, recheck the FINE-C routine and turn the choke on if it was off. Open the throttle about one-fourth turn. If you have to kick repeatedly, the engine may flood and you will probably smell gasoline. In this case, open the throttle completely and kick-start again. If the engine still won't start, check the spark plug. It may need to be cleaned or replaced. It is always a good idea to carry extra spark plugs in your tool kit. Either set the spark plug gap yourself according to your owner's manual or ask your dealer to do it for you. Send your questions to me at 2300 S. Dirksen Parkway, Room 320, Springfield, 62764, or call the motorcycle safety hotline: 800-252-2933.
