RIDING INSTRUCTIONS
Ride economically and be aware of the environment
Fuel consumption , environmental pollution
and wear of engine, brakes and tyres depe-
nd on various factors.
Your personal riding style is highly determi-
nant for economical fuel consumption and
exhaust gas and noise generation.
While idling, the engine takes a long time to
warm up to operational temperature. In the
warm-up phase,however,the wear level and
pollutant emissions are very high. It is ther-
efore best to start riding immediately after
start-up.
Open the throttle not further than needed,in
order to reduce fuel consumption as well as
pollution and wear levels.
Do not use excessive revs; change up as s-
oon as possible and do not change down u-
ntil it is necessary to do so.
Unnecessary acceleration and hard braking
cause high fuel consumption and increased
pollution levels.
Avoid rapid acceleration
Ride as evenly as possible and look ahe-
ad as far as possible.
Turn the engine off when waiting in tr
affic.

Different riding conditions affect fuel consu-
mption. The following conditions are unfav-
ourable for fuel consumption:
- High traffic density, especially in big cities
with many stops for traffic lights.
- Frequent short rides with repeated starts
and warm-ups of the engine.
- Riding in a column of motorcycles at low
speed, meaning riding with relatively high
revs.
Plan rides ahead of time in order to avoid
heavy traffic.
Fuel consumption is also affected by condi-
tions that are out of your control, for instan-
ce, poor road condition, hills,riding in winter.
Observe the following aspects for economi-
cal fuel consumption:
- The planned inspection intervals must be
closely observed.
- Regular service by a specialized.
dealer will guarantee not only continued
operability, but also economical fuel cons-
umption, low environmental pollution and
a long lifespan.
-Check the tyre pressure every two weeks.
Low tyre pressure increases rolling resista-
nce. This increases fuel consumption and
tyre wear and adversely affects riding beh-
aviour.
- Continually check fuel consumption.
- Frequently check the engine-oil level.
