MSF Basic eCourse: About Basic OperationFINE-C - correct answer FINE-C refers to an engine pre-start routine. It stands for Fuel, Ignition, Neutral, Engine cut-off switch, Choke and Clutch. F - correct answer Fuel, means if equipped, turn the fuel supply valve On. I - correct answer Ignition, means turn the ignition switch to the On position. Some indicator lights should come on. N - correct answer Neutral, means to be in Neutral. The green light in the instrument cluster "indicates" neutral. When in neutral, the motorcycle will roll forward and backward with the clutch lever and front brake lever released. E - correct answer Engine cut-off switch means put the switch in the Run/On position. C - correct answer Choke and Clutch, means to set the choke and squeeze in the clutch lever. The choke should be On for a cold engine, although some motorcycles do not have a choke. Engine start procedure - correct answer When starting the engine: Apply at least one of the brakes. Squeeze in the clutch lever fully. Press the starter button. Do not use the throttle if the choke is On as this could provide too much fuel to the engine. Once the engine is started, you can release the clutch lever, but do so slowly in case the motorcycle is not in neutral. Some engines will not start if the side stand is down. Many motorcycles will allow the engine to start but will stall when the motorcycle is shifted into gear when the side stand is down. Engine stop procedure - correct answer To stop the engine: First, move the engine cut-off switch to Off with your right thumb. Do this every time so you can develop the habit in case you need to shut off the engine in an emergency. Turn the ignition switch to Off. Turn the fuel supply valve Off if it has that position. It may help to remember the Engine Stop Procedure as Thumb, Key, Valve. Clutch Lever & Friction Zone - correct answer Proper use of the clutch lever and friction zone is critical for starting out smoothly and slow speed maneuvers. The friction zone is a small area in the travel of the clutch lever that controls the connection between the engine and the rear wheel. Fully squeezing in the clutch lever removes power from the rear wheel. The video shown here illustrates how clutch-lever use connects power to the rear wheel. Notice squeezing the clutch lever removes power from the rear wheel. If you lose control of the motorcycle and want to stop, you should squeeze in the clutch lever fully and use the brakes as needed. Riding Posture - correct answer Good posture helps you control the motorcycle. Keep your: Back straight and head and eyes up Feet on the footrests and near the controls
