Riding Precautions
Running-in Period
During the first 500 km (300 miles) of running,
follow these guidelines to ensure your scooter's
future reliability and performance.
●
Avoid full-throttle starts and rapid
acceleration.
●
Avoid hard braking.
●
Ride conservatively.
Brakes
Observe the following guidelines:
●
Avoid excessively hard braking.
u
Sudden braking can reduce the scooter's
stability.
u
Where possible, reduce speed before
turning; otherwise you risk sliding out.
●
Exercise caution on low traction surfaces.
u
The tyres 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.
#
Anti-lock Brake System (ABS)
This model is equipped with an Anti-lock Brake
System (ABS) designed to help prevent the
brakes from locking up during hard braking.
●
ABS does not reduce braking distance. In
certain circumstances, ABS may result in a
longer stopping distance.
●
ABS does not function at speeds below 10
km/h (6 mph).
●
The brake levers may recoil slightly when
applying the brakes. This is normal.
●
Always use the recommended front/rear
tyres to ensure correct ABS operation.
