IF THE ENGINE IS “FLOODED”
In the event of a fall, a certain amount of fuel can flow out the carburetor
and enter the cylinder, “flooding” the engine.
To start the engine, pull out the plug cap assy , unscrew the spark plug
and extract it, then press the kick start pedal several times firmly DOWN
TO THE BOTTOM.
Check that the electrodes on the spark plug are not wet with fuel and dry
if they are. Put the spark plug back in, screwing it back down carefully.
Try the kick start pedal again.
BIKE STARTING
Pull the clutch lever, insert the first gear, release the clutch lever slowly,
accelerating at the same time.
BEFORE STARTING, ALWAYS CHECK THAT THE SIDE STAND HAS BEEN
LIFTED. IF THE STAND SLIDES ALONG THE GROUND YOU COULD LOOSE
THE CONTROL OF THE MOTORCYCLE.
SHIFTING GEAR, ACCELERATING,
SLOWING DOWN
1
st
gear, which should be selected, is the pulling away and ascent gear.
If the circumstances permit (speed limits, traffic, slopes), to increase
speed, insert higher gears. To do this, close the throttle, pull the clutch
lever at the same time, insert the successive gear, release the clutch
and accelerate up to 1/2 turn of the throttle. Then insert the following
gear and repeat this operation until the desired speed is reached and
however, permitted by the limits in force.
Gradual opening of the accelerator allows a careful driving and limits
consumption. Learn the correct opening of the throttle on the basis of
the pace at which you want the motorcycle to move.
To reduce speed, the throttle must be closed. Brake and shift down the
gears, pulling the clutch lever and inserting a lower gear. Release the
clutch slowly and accelerate or change gear again . Always increase or
change down the gears one at a time!
