Periods of inactivity
We recommend carrying out the following operations:
1 . Clean the scooter thoroughly and then cover it with a canvas;
2 . When placing the vehicle on its centre stand, ensure that the front suspension lock-
ing system is disengaged;
3 . With engine off and piston at the bottom dead centre, remove the spark plug, add
1÷2 cm³ of oil through its hole (larger amounts are dangerous for the engine itself).
Operate the starter button 1-2 times for roughly 1 second to turn the engine over
slowly, then insert the spark plug again;
4 . Drain all fuel from the vehicle; spread antirust grease on the unpainted metal parts;
keep the wheels lifted above the ground by resting the chassis on two wooden wedges;
5 . Concerning the battery, follow the instructions in the «Battery» section.
