●
Exercise caution on low traction surfaces.
u
The tires slip more easily on such
surfaces and braking distances are
longer.
●
Avoid continuous braking.
u
Repeated braking, such as when
descending long, steep slopes can
seriously overheat the brakes, reducing
their effectiveness.
●
For full braking effectiveness, operate both
the front and rear brakes together.
#
Wet or Rainy Conditions
Road surfaces are slippery when wet, and wet
brakes further reduce braking efficiency.
Exercise extra caution when braking in wet
conditions.
If the brakes get wet, apply the brakes while
riding at low speed to help them dry.
Parking
●
Park on a firm, level surface.
●
If you must park on a slight incline or loose
surface, park so that the scooter cannot
move or fall over.
●
Make sure that high-temperature parts
cannot come into contact with flammable
materials.
●
Do not touch the engine, muffler, brakes
and other high-temperature parts until they
cool down.
●
To reduce the likelihood of theft, always lock
the handlebar and remove the key when
leaving the scooter unattended.
Use of an anti-theft device is also
recommended.
