the tank will be emptied until only the reserve is left.

to the RES position. Fill the tank as soon as possible and remember to
turn the rotating handle back to the ON position so that you will have

If you pull the choke button [3] out as far as possible, a bore in the carbure-
tor will be opened through which the engine may take in additional fuel. The
result is a “fat“ fuel-air mixture of the type needed for cold starts.
To deactivate the choke, push the choke button back into its basic position.
Choke (EXC-F)
If you press the choke lever towards the handlebar [4], a bore in the carbu-
retor is opened through which the engine can take in additional fuel. The result
is a "rich" fuel-air mixture of the type needed for cold starts. The amount of
fuel and thus the engine speed is determined by the position of the choke
lever.
To close the bore, press the choke lever away from the handlebar.
