LOCATION OF COMPONENTS – OPERATION

MULTI FUNCTION INSTRUMENT PANEL AND INDICATOR LIGHTS

The multifunction apparatus, which is waterproof, has 4-8 LED indicators on both sides of a central indicator screen This central indicator screen, made of liquid crystal and with illumination, gives information about the rpm, speed, journey, kilometres travelled, time, average speed, maximum speed, length of time with motor running and total time. The data relative to the distance travelled and total time of use is stored in the memory, even when the apparatus is switched off. When the multifunction apparatus is not activated, it displays a clock. The wheel circumference value is adaptable, as is the measuring system (metric or imperial). The number and distribution of the LED indicators, and the amount of information on screen may vary according to model.

LOCATION OF COMPONENTS – OPERATION

This has three positions: The diagrams below show the position of the fuel tap (A) for each case.

1 2 3

RECOMMENDED FUEL

Use lead-free petrol with an octane rating of 95 or higher.

1- Reserve 2- Open 3- Closed

WARNING If knocking occurs, try a different brand of petrol or higher

octane grade.

DANGER Always stop the engine and do not smoke. Gasoline is extremely

flammable and can be explosive under certain conditions. Make sure the area is well ventilated and free from any source of flame or sparks; this includes any appliance with a pilot light.

THROTTLE CONTROL

GEARBOX

The motorcycle has 5 gears. It is a sequential gearbox, which means that in order to reach third gear from first gear, second gear must first be engaged, that is, the gears go up or down gear by gear. To engage the first gear from neutral, press on the clutch, press the gearshift pedal all the way down then release the clutch slowly. Neutral is located between first gear and second gear.

2, 3, 4, 5

Moving the control A to the left will close the throttle and restrict the flow of air in the carburettor jet. While the control A remains in this position, the air/fuel mixture is enriched and this will facilitate cold starting. See also "Starting a cold engine".

WARNING To ensure correct gear engagement, operate the gearshift pedal

firmly so that the transition is complete. Incomplete or erratic insertion of gears could cause damage to the transmission system. Accident risk!

LOCATION OF COMPONENTS – OPERATION

BRAKE PEDAL

WARNING Do not start the engine or ride the motorcycle when the stand

is down.

The rear brake pedal is located in front of the right hand side footrest and may be adjusted to the position of the driver. SEE MAINTENANCE INSTRUCTIONS.

STAND

DANGER Danger, risk of physical injury! Use the stand with care. The uncontrolled return of the stand to its rest position could

cause injury to the user or to others

LOCATION OF COMPONENTS – OPERATION

A - Rear brake pedal

- Push the stand A downwards to the ground by foot until it supports the weight of the motorcycle. Ensure that the surface on which the stand rests is sufficiently hard so that the motorcycle remains in a stable position.

- To take up the stand, remove the weight of the motorcycle by inclining it - the spring B will return the stand to its resting position.

DRIVING INSTRUCTIONS

STARTING THE ENGINE

DANGER Do not start or leave the engine idling in closed spaces.

Exhaust fumes are highly toxic and may result in loss of consciousness or even death. When the engine is running, ensure that there is always adequate ventilation.

Note The motorcycle is fitted with a safety device allowing the engine to be started while the gear is engaged. To start the motorcycle, proceed as follows.

- Open the fuel tap.

- Put the gearbox into neutral or even hold in the clutch lever during the starting operation.

- Rotate the ignition key A clockwise to the position , the electric circuits are activated and the motorcycle may start.

- Without using the throttle, press the electric start button B.

WARNING When the key remains in the engine start position: If the

engine is not started then a loss of battery electrical potential may occur.

STARTING A COLD ENGINE

WARNING Do not fully load the motorcycle while the engine is cold. Allow the engine to run at idle speed or drive slowly until the engine reaches normal operation speed.

After some seconds, and depending on the outside temperature, the engine will reach a higher and more stable speed. This means that it has reached normal operation temperature. At this moment remove the choke by turning the control A to the right hand side.

WHAT TO DO WHEN THE ENGINE IS FLOODED

Note If the engine will not start, remove the spark plug and dry it.

See "Removing the spark plug".

- Once the engine is running, open the fuel tap.

Stopping the engine

- Brake the motorcycle and put the gearshift pedal in neutral.

- Completely close the accelerator pedal and use the engine stop button.

- Rotate the ignition key anticlockwise to the position .

- Close the fuel tap.

STOPPING THE MOTORCYCLE

DANGER When driving in wet conditions or after washing the motorcycle,

the brakes may be wet. If so, then the braking capacity is reduced until the braking elements are dry. Drive carefully and lightly apply both brakes in order to dry them.

- Close the fuel tap.

- Following the instructions described in STARTING THE ENGINE, operate the starter button with the throttle completely open (full throttle) and the choke control all the way to the right; release the throttle control as soon as the engine starts.

DRIVING INSTRUCTIONS

WARNING If the ground is slippery or loose then give preference to the

rear brake. Depending on circumstances and ground surface, it may be better to use the front or rear brakes independently. Gear down gradually using the engine braking capacity.

For maximum deceleration, close the throttle A and apply both front and rear brakes.

RUNNING IN PERIOD

WARNING Brutal acceleration during the run in period may cause engine

damage.

All of the moving parts in the engine have been made to a high level of precision in order to obtain a quality contact surface and correct positioning.

However, correct engine care during the first hours of use is vital for obtaining the best from your motorcycle.

Therefore, we recommend:

- Start the engine and let it run at idle until the engine is thoroughly

warmed up.

- Stop the engine and wait for it to completely cool.

- Start the engine once again. For the first hour of use or for the first 100 Km, use the engine at a moderate speed.

- Never run the engine at maximum rpm.

- Vary the engine speed consistently using the throttle control.

Note The spark plug may be soiled if the engine is used at a low

speed during the running in period. If this occurs then replace the standard spark plug by a higher temperature spark plug for the running in period only. See the section regarding extraction of the spark plug. Following the run-in period, fit a new standard spark plug.
