Rules of conduct
Warning
If this is your first time riding this type of motorcycle, we recommend that you
familiarize yourself with its controls and operation on a low-traffic road until you
have mastered it.
Before setting off, check that the sidestand is correctly raised.
Do not accelerate sharply or downshift in a turn or change of direction.
Slow down enough when braking before entering a turn.
It is dangerous to operate a motorcycle with one hand. When riding, always hold
the handlebars firmly with both hands and keep your feet on the footrests. Never take
both hands off the handlebars at the same time.
On wet roads, the friction force being low, the braking distance increases and it is
more difficult to change direction: so remember to decelerate in advance.
Always respect traffic rules and speed limits
