RIDING YOUR MOTORCYCLE
WARNING*:
Before setting off make sure that:
- the side stand is fully up;
- the rear footrests are closed if there
is no passenger;
- the passenger knows what to do
while riding to avoid problems when
manoeuvring.
Note*:
The ECU memorises two different mappings ("STAND-
ARD" and "RAIN") that can be selected using the special
button on the dashboard (for map changing, see the sec-
tion "Map change").
The "STANDARD" mapping delivers full power.
The "RAIN" mapping delivers power than can be used
more at low and medium revs and is suitable when using
the vehicle on wet roads or low grip situations.
1) Start the motorcycle as described in the relevant
section.
2) Adjust the rear-view mirrors to the riding position to
ensure correct visibility.
WARNING*:
Vehicles seen in the rear-view mirrors
appear to be further away than they
really are due to the special shape
of the rear-view mirrors; get familiar
with using your mirrors to ensure cor
-
rect and safe riding.
3) With the throttle (1) closed and the engine idling,
pull the clutch lever (2) and push the gear lever (3)
down to select the first gear.
4) Slowly release the clutch lever (2) and, at the same
time, slightly accelerate by turning the throttle
twistgrip (1);
the vehicle will start to move.
Note*:
Select the best gear for the desired speed; speed changes
in proportion with turning the throttle. Therefore, turn
the throttle gradually without exceeding the recommend-
ed number of revs.
5) To go to the higher gears, do the following:
Release the throttle (1), pull the clutch lever (2),
lift the gear lever (3), release the clutch lever (2)
and accelerate at the same time.
Note*:
The engaged gear is displayed on the dashboard.
