Fuel – Petrol/oil mixture

The motorcycle is fitted with a two-stroke internal
combustion engine. This type of engine requires a

mixture of petrol and oil.
To ensure the correct working of the engine, the following are
recommended:

- Use high quality petrol, with an octane rating equal to or
above 90 (RON + MON)/2 or 98 (RON).

- Use 2T synthetic oil.

Warning:

- If the recommended oil is not available, use semi-synthetic oil.

- Do not mix different oil-types.
Mixture ratio: oil, 2% of petrol volume (50 parts petrol to every 1
part oil).
Note: we recommend first preparing the mixture in a suitable
container and then filling the fuel tank.

Fuel tank

This has a rapid access cap (A) and a vent hose (B) to allow
gases produced in the tank to escape.

- To open the cap, lift the clip in the direction shown by the arrow
and turn to the left.
Warning: Regularly check the cap seal and vent hose to ensure
they are leak proof. Risk of spillage.

Before starting the engine

- Open the fuel tap.

Note:

- If the engine is cold then pull the

choke upwards (A) and, then, rotate it 1/4 of
a turn to the left or the right to secure it in place.
Once the engine is turning over regularly at
idle speed, return the choke (A) to the rest
position.

- Do not use the choke on hot days or when
the engine is hot.
In this case, hold the throttle lever partially
open until the engine starts.
