When the brake pedal is depressed, the brake light comes on. Check the brake light before each ride.

  2. Apply the brakes. The brake light should come on after about 10 mm (0.4 in.) of pedal travel.

Throttle Pedal

Push the throttle pedal down to increase engine speed. Spring pressure returns the pedal to the rest position when released. Always check that the throttle pedal returns normally before starting the engine.
TIP
If the throttle pedal and brake pedal are applied simultaneously, engine power may be limited.
