02_14
Your ability and your knowledge of the vehicle form the basis of safe riding. So try out
the vehicle somewhere without traffic until you have gained a good familiarity of the
vehicle itself.
ALWAYS RIDE WITHIN YOUR LIMITS
1. Before riding off, remember to put the helmet on and fasten it correctly.
2. Slow down and drive carefully over bumpy roads.
3. Remember that, after driving over a long stretch of wet road without using the
brakes, braking will not be as efficient the first time/s you use them again. When driving
under conditions like this, you should brake periodically.
4. Do not brake hard on wet, unmade or otherwise slippery road surfaces.
5. When you need to use the brakes, use them both so as to distribute the braking
effort over both the wheels.
6. Do not start off by getting on the vehicle while it is standing on its stand. In any case,
the rear wheel should not be turning when it comes into contact with the ground, in
order to avoid abrupt departures.
7. If you are using the vehicle on roads covered with sand, mud, snow mixed with salt
etc., you should frequently clean the brake disc with a non-aggressive cleaning com-
pound so as to avoid the formation of abrasive agglomerates inside the slots with the
consequent premature wear of the brake pads.
