STOPPING AND PARKING
Decelerate and switch the engine into neutral. To switch off the
engine at idling speed, press the short-circuit switch or the emer-
gency off switch until the engine is off or switch off the ignition.
Close the fuel taps, park the motorcycle on a firm surface and lock.
WARNING: Motorcycle engines produce a great amount
of heat while running. The engine, exhaust pipe, muffler,
brake rotors, and shock absorbers can become very hot.
Do not touch any of these parts after operating the
motorcycle, and take care to park it where pedestrians
are not likely to touch it and get burned.
CAUTION: Do not use the hand decompressor lever to
switch off the engine. Always use the short-circuit switch,
the emergency off switch or the ignition switch.
Close the fuel tap when leaving your vehicle.Otherwise
the carburettor can flood and fuel will enter the engine.
Never park your motorcycle in places where there are
fire hazards due to dry grass or other easily flammable
materials.
NOTE REGARDING THE SIDE STAND: Use your foot to
kick side stand forward up to the stop and lean the
motorcycle sideways. Make sure that the ground is solid
and that your motorcycle is standing securely. Just in
case, you can shift into first gear.
CAUTION: The side stand is designed to bear only the
load of the motorcycle. The side stand and/or the frame
can be damaged and the motorcycle can fall over if you
mount the motor-cycle, thus putting an additional load
on the side stand.
FUEL
The engine needs unleaded fuel with at least RON 95
(USA = Premium RON 91).
CAUTION: Use leaded or unleaded premium grade gaso-
line (95 octanes). Never use gasoline having less than 95
octanes because it may damage the engine.
WARNING: Gasoline is highly flammable and poisonous.
Extreme caution should be used when handling gasoline.
Do not refuel the motorcycle near open flames or bur-
ning cigarettes. Always switch off the engine before refu-
elling. Be careful not to spill gasoline on the engine or
exhaust pipe while the engine is hot. Wipe up spills
promptly. If gasoline is swallowed or splashed in the
eyes, seek a doctor’s advice immediately.
Fuel expands when its temperature rises. Therefore do not fill the
tank to the top (see fig.).
