N
Slowly release the clutch lever (3) and at
the same time accelerate by rotating the
throttle grip moderately (2) (Pos. B).
The vehicle will start moving.
N
Ride at reduced speed for the first miles,
in order to warm the engine up.
CAUTION
Never exceed the recommended rpm,
see p. 49 (RUNNING-IN).
N
Increase the speed by gradually rotating
the throttle grip (2) (Pos. B), without ex-
ceeding the recommended rpm, see p.
49 (RUNNING-IN).
To engage the second gear:
CAUTION
Proceed quickly.
Never ride the vehicle at too low rpm.
N
Release the throttle grip (2) (Pos. A),
pull the clutch lever (3) and lift the shift-
ing lever (4). Release the clutch lever (3)
and accelerate.
N
Repeat the last two operations and shift
up.
CAUTION
If the engine oil pressure warning light
LED "
" (5) comes on during the nor-
mal operation of the engine, this means
that the engine oil pressure in the cir-
cuit is insufficient. In this case, stop the
engine immediately and contact an
Official Dealer.
The downshifting should be carried out
in the following situations:
N
When riding downhill or when braking, in
order to increase the braking action by
using the compression of the engine.
N
When riding uphill, if the gear engaged is
not suitable to the speed (high gear,
moderate speed) and the engine rpm de-
creases.
CAUTION
Shift the gears one by one; the simulta-
neous downshifting of more than one
gear may make you exceed the maxi-
mum rpm (red line). Before and during
the downshifting, release the throttle
grip and decelerate, in order to avoid
the "red line".
To shift down, proceed as follows:
N
Release the throttle grip (2) (Pos. A).
N
If necessary, pull the brake levers mod-
erately and decrease the speed of the
vehicle.
N
Pull the clutch lever (3) and lower the
shifting lever (4) to shift down.
N
If the brake levers are pulled, release
them.
N
Release the clutch lever and accelerate
moderately.
