BREAK-IN
The break-in period lasts for about 10 hours of use. During this period,
please observe the following recommendations:
1 For the first 3 hours of use, the engine should only be used at up to 50% of its power. The
engine speed should not exceed 7000 rpm.
2 For the next 7 hours of use, the engine should only be used at up to 75% of its power.
3 Warm the engine up well before using the bike.
4 Avoid travelling at a constant speed: varying the speed makes the components bed in uni-
formly and in less time.
CAUTION:
After the first three hours (or two fills of petrol), change the engine oil.
• Always use super unleaded petrol.
• After the first trip off-road, check all the nuts and bolts.
CHECKS AND MAINTENANCE BEFORE AND AFTER OFF-ROAD USE
To avoid unpleasant surprises while operating the vehicle, we recommend that you perform
a series of checks and maintenance jobs both before and after use. In fact, dedicating just a
few minutes to these checks and jobs will not only make riding safer, but can save you time
and money. Proceed as follows:
Tyres
Check the pressure, general condition and tread depth.
Spokes
Check that the tension is correct.
Nuts and bolts
Check the tight of all the nuts and bolts.
Chain
Check the tension (clearance 20 mm) and, if necessary, grease it.
Air filter
Clean the filter and soak it in air filter oil.
Note
Check that you have the vehicle’s identification documents. On cold days, before setting off we advise that you
run the engine, as a minimum, for the time required to reach the correct operating temperature. Every time the
vehicle is used off-road it needs to be cleaned carefully.
