INTENDED PURPOSE
The 990 Supermoto is designed and constructed for normal use on public roads but not for use on race courses or offroad
terrain.
OWNER'S MANUAL
Carefully read the entire Owner's Manual before you start riding your motorcycle, even if this will take a little time. It contains use-
ful tips and information on the best way to handle the motorcycle and how to protect yourself from injuries. The Manual also con-
tains important information on service and maintenance. In your own interest, pay particular attention to the information marked
as follows:
– Ignoring these instructions, can endanger your body and
your life.
– Ignoring these instructions could cause damage to parts
of your motorcycle or that the motor-cycle is not road-safe
anymore.
The Owner's Manual corresponded to the latest information available for this model series at the time it was printed. Minor devia-
tions resulting from enhancements to the motorcycle design cannot be entirely precluded. The Owner's Manual is an integral part
of the motorcycle and must be handed over to the new owner when the motorcycle is sold.
SERVICE
Observance of the service, maintenance and operating instructions for the engine and chassis specified in the Owner's Manual is
a prerequisite for faultless operation and the avoidance of premature wear. Please observe the prescribed breaking-in periods, inspec-
tion intervals and service intervals. Strict observance will significantly prolong the service life of your motorcycle.
Use of the motorcycle under extreme conditions, e.g. on extremely muddy and wet terrain, can lead to higher than average wear on
components such as the drive train or the brakes. In this case it may become necessary to service or replace wear parts before the
service limit specified in the maintenance schedule has been reached.
