9 RIDING INSTRUCTIONS
62
–
Switch off the engine if running at idle or standing for a long time.
–
Avoid frequent and longer slipping of the clutch. This heats the engine oil, the engine,
and the cooling system.
–
Ride with a lower engine speed instead of with a high engine speed and a slipping
clutch.
–
Stop immediately if the FI warning lamp ( MIL ) lights up during a trip. When you shift to
neutral, the
FI
warning lamp (
MIL
) starts to flash.
Info
From the flash rhythm you can deduce a two-digit number, the so-called blink
code. The blink code tells you which component is affected by a malfunction.
