MOTORBIKE OPERATION
It is very important to know how to operate your vehicle correctly.
NOTE: remember that you must not leave the motor running in an enclosed area, as the toxic gas from the
exhaust could cause serious health problems.
STARTING AND RIDING.
Open the petrol tap.
If the motor is cold, fully open the choke lever.
Turn the ignition key one position clockwise and check the engine is in neutral, with the throttle closed depress
the kick start to turn the engine over.
After a few kicks the engine should fire, allow the kick start to return to its rest position.
TO RIDE AWAY
Pull in the clutch lever and put the motorbike in first gear (Down one click), slowly release the clutch lever
while at the same time accelerating slowly once moving allow the clutch lever to go its rest position (OUT)
and ride away.
Do not accelerate too much until the motor is warm enough.
CAUTION: Before riding the motor should be warm, never accelerate or ride hard when
the motor is cold. This will prevent pre-mature damage to your engine.
