considerable power. Familiarise with the
vehicle gradually and use the greatest
care.
Do not position any object inside the
front fairing (between the handlebar and
the instrument panel), in order not to
hinder the rotation of the handlebar and
visibility toward the instrument panel.

Before moving off, carefully read
the “safe drive” chapter, see page 5 (SAFE
DRIVE).

sure that the passenger footrests are
folded.
CAUTION
While riding, keep your hands on the
grips and your feet on the footrests.

WARNING
If you ride with a passenger, instruct
him/her so that he/she does not create
problems during manoeuvres.
Before leaving, make sure that the
stand is completely up.
To leave:
u
Start the engine, see page 48
(STARTING).
u
Adjust the inclination of the rear-view
mirrors correctly.

acquainted with the use of the rear-view
mirrors. The r efle cting sur f ace is
convex, therefore the objects seem to
be farther away than they actually are.
These mirrors offer a “wide-angle”
view. It may take some time to learn to
accurately judge the distance of traffic
behind.

Pos.A
