DO NOT USE THE SIDE STAND TO CARRY BAGS AND DO NOT USE IT FOR
REAR COMPARTMENT ASSEMBLY AND DISASSEMBLY OPERATIONS.

USE THE SIDE STAND PREFERABLY ON STREET SURFACES WHICH ARE
COMPACT AND ONLY SLIGHTLY SLOPING, PARTICULARLY IN CONDITIONS
OF MAXIMUM ALLOWED LOAD.
Automatic transmission
To ensure simple, pleasurable riding, the vehicle is equipped with automatic trans-
mission with regulator and centrifugal clutch. The system is designed to give the best
possible performance in terms of both acceleration and consumption, on level ground
and uphill, thanks to the adjustments made to engine speed and transmitted torque.
If you have to stop on an uphill slope (traffic lights, traffic jam, etc.) only use the brake
to keep the vehicle still, leaving the motor running at idling speed. Using the motor to
keep the vehicle still can cause the clutch to overheat. This problem is due to the
friction of the clutch parts on the clutch bell. It is therefore recommended to avoid
conditions of prolonged clutch slippage leading to clutch overheating (for example, as
well as the situation described above, riding uphill fully laden on steep slopes or start-
ing off on slopes greater than 25%, etc.):
1. Do not continue riding in such conditions.
2. Let the clutch cool down with the motor at idling speed for a few minutes
