Husqvarna
A Class
Did anyone notice that in the owners manual that no one reads. (ya bored stiff at the inlaws) It says that the electric start is only to be used for starting the bike when it is cold. It clearly states that the kick start is to be used when the bike is warm and the electric start when it's cold. What's up with that, can anyone explain further??????
From the user manual::
ENGINE START (TE)
With cold engine, as after a prolonged inactivity of the
motorcycle or in presence of a low external temperature,
proceed as follows:
1) set ignition key (1) in IGNITION position (the buzz that you
hear when you turn the key to IGNITION is caused by the
fuel pump which puts the feeding system under pressure);
2) pull the starter lever (2);
3) pull the clutch lever (3);
4) shift gear pedal (4) in neutral position then release the
clutch control lever;
5) Check that the button (5) is in the out position and
press it, followed by the start button (6). Bring the
starter lever (2) back to its original position as
soon as the motor can idle. When starting with an
already warmed up engine DO NOT USE the starter.
**Probably something lost in the translation here, should read do not use the starter LEVER**
When a cold engine has just been started, do not
increase revs, to ensure an adequate oil warm-up
and circulation.
IMPORTANT
NEVER START WITH DISCONNECTED BATTERY.
I read the German version (coz I can) and it calls the lever a "choke"
Here's a web translation from the user guide from German to English:
5) To check that the key (5) is pulled out, then the Anlasserschalter (6) print. As soon as the engine idling , the Choke-Hebel (2) return on its initial position reset. Do not use the choke in a reboot. The cold engine does not run whininess, so that the oil heating and to all points can be routed, the a lubrication need.
I think someone mentioned this in another thread recently?
