Do not apply protective wax on the braking parts,
disks and pads, as it could affect their operation.
Do not apply it on the saddle either, as it could
make it slippery and therefore be the cause of
a fall.
INACTIVITY
If the vehicle is not going to be used for several
months, it is advisable:
- to clean and protect the painted parts by ap-
plying special waxes;
- to drain all the fuel from the tank, close the
tap and make sure there is none in the float
chamber. To do this, close the tank tap and
start the vehicle. Wait for it to cut out on its
own;
- remove the spark plug and pour a spoonful
of oil for two-stroke engines into the cylin-
der. Replace the spark plug and use the kick
starter to spread oil over the walls of the cyl-
inder;
- periodically check the tyre pressure;
- lubricate the chain;
- cover the end of the exhaust pipe with a bag
and tie it tightly to prevent humidity from en-
tering;
- cover the vehicle with a sheet (in cotton or
wool or other breathable material) that is
large enough to fully cover it but without
touching the ground.
AFTER A PERIOD OF INACTIVITY
- Uncover and wash the vehicle, see page 95
(CLEANING).
- Fill the fuel tank, see page 81 (FUEL).
- Carry out the preliminary checks, see page
70 (PRELIMINARY CHECKLIST).
Do a test run of a few kilometres at a moder-
ate speed in an area with no traffic.
