Before departure, carefully read
the "RIDING SAFELY" chapter,
see p. 5 (RIDING SAFELY).
If you run out of the "standard" fuel quantity
while riding, move the fuel tap lever (1) to
position "
RES ", in order to use the fuel re-
serve.
Fuel reserve : 5
L
(mechanical reserve).
Immediately provide for topping
up, see p. 21 (FUEL).
Properly adjust the inclination of
the rear-view mirrors. If you
drive without passenger, make
sure that the rear foot rests are closed.
If you drive with a passenger, in-
struct him/her so that he/she
does not create problems during
manouvres. Before leaving, make sure
that the stands are completely folded.
To leave:
U
Ride at reduced speed for the first miles,
in order to warm the engine up.
U
With released throttle grip ( Pos. A ) and
engine idling, pull the clutch lever (2)
completely.
U
Engage the first gear, by pressing the
shifting lever (3) downwards.
U
Release the brake lever (pulled on the
starting).
On departure, the abrupt release
of the clutch lever may cause the
engine to stall or the vehicle to
jerk forwards.
Never accelerate abruptly or ex-
cessively when releasing the
clutch lever, in order to prevent
the clutch from "slipping" (slow re-
lease) or the front wheel from raising
(rearing up) (quick release).
U
Slowly release the clutch lever (2) and at
the same time accelerate by rotating the
throttle grip moderately (
Pos. B ).
The vehicle will start moving.
Never exceed the recommended
rpm, see p. 34 (RUNNING-IN).
U
Increase the speed by gradually rotating
the throttle grip (
Pos. B ), without ex-
ceeding the recommended rpm, see
p. 34 (RUNNING-IN).
