The Engine Auto Stop-Start (EASS) system automatically shuts down and restarts the engine to reduce the amount of time it idles when stopped. This reduces fuel consumption and emissions, so proves highly beneficial when stopping for traffic lights or riding in stop-and-go traffic.
* EASS only functions when the following conditions are met: the engine is sufficiently warm, the battery is in good condition, the side stand is stowed, and the scooter has reached a speed of at least 10 km/h while running.
* Starting the engine requires the ignition to be turned on and the starter button pressed while squeezing the brake lever and with the side stand stowed.
