Moving off
1) Disengage the clutch by squeezing the clutch
lever.
2) Push down the gear change lever firmly with the
tip of your foot to engage first gear.
3) Raise the engine revs by turning the throttle
twistgrip while gradually releasing the clutch
lever. The motorcycle will start moving off.
4) Release the clutch lever completely and
accelerate.
5) To shift up, close the throttle to slow down the
engine, disengage the clutch, lift the gear change
lever and let go the clutch lever. To shift down,
proceed as follows: release the twistgrip, pull the
clutch lever, shortly speed up to help gears
synchronize, shift down (engage next lower gear)
and release the clutch.
The controls should be used correctly and with
promptness. When riding uphill do not hesitate to
shift down as soon as the motorcycle tends to slow
down. This will avoid undue stress on the engine and
motorcycle.
Attention
Avoid harsh accelerations, as this may lead to
misfiring and transmission snatching. The clutch
lever should not be pulled longer than necessary after
gear is engaged or else friction parts may overheat
and wear out.
Attention
Prolonged rearing could deactivate the ABS.
Braking
Slow down in time, shift down to engine-brake first
and then brake applying both brakes. Pull the clutch
lever before stopping the motorcycle, to avoid
sudden engine stop.
ABS system
Using the brakes correctly under adverse conditions
is the hardest – and yet the most critical - skill to
master for a rider. Braking is one of the most difficult
and dangerous moments when riding a two-wheeled
vehicle: the possibility of falling or having an accident
during braking is statistically higher than at any other
moment. A locked front wheel leads to loss of
traction and stability, resulting in loss of control.
