Info
When off road, it is recommended that you are accompanied by another person on another vehicle so that you can help
each other.

Try also to ride as slowly as possible and in a standing position to get a better feeling for the motorcycle.

Do not make any off-road trips that exceed your ability and experience.
–
Hold the handlebar firmly with both hands and keep your feet on the footrests when riding.
–
If you carry luggage, make sure you secure it firmly as close as possible to the center of the vehicle and ensure even weight dis-
tribution between the front and rear wheels.
Info
Motorcycles react sensitively to any changes of weight distribution.
–
The maximum permissible overall weight and the maximum permissible axle loads must not be exceeded.
Guideline
Maximum permissible overall weight 335 kg (739 lb.)
Maximum permissible front axle load 145 kg (320 lb.)
Maximum permissible rear axle load 190 kg (419 lb.)

8.3 Starting power of lithium-ion batteries at low temperatures
402555-01
Lithium-ion batteries are far lighter than lead batteries, have a low self-discharge rate,
and have more starting power at temperatures over 15 °C (60 °F). At low tempera-
tures, however, the starting power of lithium-ion batteries drops to below that of lead
batteries.
Multiple starting attempts may be needed. Press the electric starter button for 5 sec-
onds, and wait 30 seconds between attempts. The pauses are necessary so that the
created heat can distribute through the lithium-ion battery and the battery is not dam-
aged.
If the charged lithium-ion battery does not or only weakly turns over the electric
starter when temperatures are below 15 °C (60 °F), then the battery is not faulty, but
needs to be warmed up internally to increase its starting power (current output).
The starting power increases as the battery warms up.
8.4 Preparing the vehicle for difficult riding conditions
Info
Use of the vehicle under difficult conditions, such as on sand or on wet and muddy surfaces, can lead to considerably more
rapid wear of components such as the drive train, brake system, or suspension components. For this reason, it may be nec-
essary to inspect or replace parts before the next scheduled service.
