Good news that you found a manual. Big question is ... what's the hybrid battery condition?

Unknown at this time. In fact the IMA and CEL lights are both on, when neither was lit for the first test drive. This suggests to me that there may have been a low voltage condition in the 12v battery, and there may be one still. I'll have to dig in and find out what's up with that.
This engine is the tiniest one I've ridden behind since my '78 Civic, and that Civic had only half the weight to contend with. But the IMA - which continues to contribute despite the IMA light - makes the engine's output feel comparable to that of my truck. The power delivery is similar to what I'm already familiar with, the only sticking point is the feather-light clutch. Blimey, what a clutch.
