    Automatic transmission To ensure simple, pleasurable riding, the vehicle is equipped with automatic trans- mission with regulator and centrifugal clutch. The system is designed to give the best possible performance in terms of both acceleration and consumption, on level ground and uphill, thanks to the adjustments made to engine speed and transmitted torque.
  • Page 27 1. Before riding off, remember to put on your helmet and fasten it correctly. 2. Reduce speed and ride cautiously on uneven roads. 3. Remember that after riding on a long stretch of wet road without using the brakes, the braking effect is initially lower. Under these conditions, it is a good idea to operate the brakes from time to time.
