Operation
Pre-riding checklist
Read the controls & indicators sections of this manual before riding your motorcycle.
Before riding your motorcycle at any time, make a general inspection to be sure it is in a safe riding condition.
Check front and rear tire pressure and that the brakes are working.
Put up the kickstand. Sit on the seat, put the key in the ignition switch and turn the key clockwise to on.
The power indicator lamp should be illuminated. You can now check the status of the battery charge level and
check that all lights including panel light, turning signal and stop lamp are working.
Starting the motorcycle
a.
Put up the kickstand.
b.
Sit on the seat, put the key in the ignition switch and turn the key clockwise to ON.
c.
Turn the twist throttle towards the rider. The motorcycle will start moving forward.
The rider must be sitting in a comfortable and balanced position when the motor bike is on before starting.
Failure to be correctly seated could result in being unseated as the motorcycle moves forward and may result
serious injury or even death.
Changing speed
Turn the twist throttle inwards (counterclockwise) to accelerate the speed; turn the twist throttle
outwards (clockwise) to reduce speed.
Be sure the kickstand is fully retracted before riding the motorcycle. If it is not fully retracted it could come into
contact with the road surface and cause a momentary disturbance before retracting. This disturbance could
result in loss of vehicle control and result serious injury or even death.
Turn the throttle smoothly when changing speed, for your safety and to reduce any mechanical
damage.
