Caution
When you shift into neutral, the neutral indicator light (N or 0) comes on on
the instrument cluster (if equipped). Even if the light is on, gradually release the
clutch lever to make sure the transmission is in neutral.
Functioning
• Before starting the engine, make sure that the sidestand is fully folded up.
• If you cannot easily move the sidestand, check that the kickstand is lubricated.
• Change gear appropriately in relation to engine speed.
• To consume little fuel and ensure the longevity of your machine, do not drive at
high speed and favor low and medium speeds.
Break-in
Running 1000 km of break-in at a speed not exceeding 6000 rpm will improve
engine life.
Caution
• Always start the vehicle first and start as gently and carefully as possible.
• If you hear any abnormal noise while driving, contact a MASH dealer to have
it checked.
• Never exceed the authorized speed.

Down reports
Brake
Use the front brake and the rear brake simultaneously.
Avoid braking suddenly if it is not necessary.
Caution
If you only use the front or rear brake, the motorcycle could slip.
If you are riding in rainy weather or on a wet road, braking suddenly can
cause accidents, adjust your speed according to the conditions and use the
brakes appropriately.
Braking repeatedly causes the brakes to overheat and reduce their
effectiveness.
Engine brake
The motor can act as a brake during deceleration. If you want to brake harder, we
suggest you downshift, being careful not to over speed the engine. However, if you
need to bring the motorcycle to a quick stop, you can use the brake and engine brake
at the same time.
Caution
When the motorcycle is being driven at high speed, do not downshift
immediately, it may suddenly reduce the speed and damage the engine and
transmission system, and even block the rear wheel of the vehicle.
Parking
Position the gearbox in neutral (N or 0) and turn off the engine.
Use the side stand to keep the motorcycle stable and park it on level ground,
otherwise it will fall. The vehicle is fitted with a side stand. To immobilize the
vehicle using the side stand: press the end of it with your foot to fully unfold it.
Caution
Park the motorcycle in a safe place where there is no traffic.
Always park the motorcycle on a level and stable surface.
The silencer can be very hot, do not park your motorcycle in a place where
there are traffic, there is a risk of burns.
If you park the motorcycle on a slope, stop it uphill to prevent it from
descending.
To drive in complete safety, check before resuming the road that the stand
side is fully raised and remains perfectly in place.
Downshift
If you want to accelerate sharply, for example to overtake, downshifting can cause
faster acceleration, but if the rpm gets too high it can damage the engine.
At high speeds, downshifting can cause the engine to over-rev. Before engaging a
lower gear, it is necessary to slow down to avoid any engine damage.
