The vehicle is fitted with an ignition disabling system controlled by the side stand and
the engine cut-off switch. The engine cannot start if the side stand is down or if the
emergency cut-off switch is set to
«OFF» . If the engine is on, it turns off when the side
stand is lowered or the emergency cut-off switch is turned to «OFF» . The scooter is
equipped with automatic transmission with direct drive, so that starting is effected by

combined brake lever «D» to actuate the safety switches. The fuel supply system can
control ignition based on the engine condition (hot/cold) or the ambient temperature
and pressure.

the ground.
2 . Keep the throttle grip «C» completely untwisted.

button «E»
