Select a large
,
fl at
area off-road to become
fam
iliar wit
h
y our M
OT0-4
.
Make sure that
th is area is free of obstacles and other riders
.
You shou ld practice control of the throttle,
brakes,
sh ift ing
procedures,
and
turning
techniques in this area before trying more
difficult terrain. Avoid riding on paved sur-
faces: the MOT0-4 is designed for off-road
use only, and handling maneuvers are more
difficult to perform on pavement.
Set the parking brake and follow the instruc-
tions on page 37 to start the engine. Once it
has warmed up you are ready to begin riding
your MOT0-4. As you get on the MOT0-4, be
sure not to accidentally move the change pedal.
Remember that the engine and exhaust pipe
will be hot when riding and afterwards; do
not allow skin or clothing to come in contact
with these components.
With the engine idling, lift the change pedal to
the 1st gear position and then release the
parking brake.
Apply the throttle slowly
and
smoothly. The centrifical clutch will
engage and you will start to accelerate. Once
the MOT0-4 has attained adequate speed,
release the throttle and lift the change pedal
to the 2nd gear position. Release the change
pedal and apply the throttle smoothly. Use
this same procedure as you move into the
higher gears. Be sure to coordinate the use of
the throttle and change pedal properly. If
the throttle is applied too abruptly or if the
throttle is not released during shifting, or if
the change pedal is not released before ap-
plying the throttle, the front wheels may
lift off the ground resulting in a loss of
directional control. Avoid higher speeds until
you are thoroughly familiar with the operation
of your MOT0-4.
