ADVICE FOR STARTING UP AND DRIVING

WARNING

Before using the vehicle for the first time, make sure you
are familiar with all the controls and their respective
uses. If you are not sure about the functions of any of the
controls, your registered dealer can answer your
questions and give you any help you may require.
As exhaust fumes are toxic, the engine must be started in
a well-ventilated area. It must never be allowed to run in
a closed space, even for a short time.

STARTING THE ENGINE

For greater safety, place the vehicle on its central stand
before starting the engine.
• Turn the ignition key to "ON".
• Ensure that the throttle is in the OFF position.
• Press one of the brake levers while pressing the starter
button. Do not press the starter for more than
10 seconds.
• Release the starter button as soon as the engine starts.
If the engine does not start, release the
starter button and the brake lever, wait a few
seconds and try again.
To kick start, place the vehicle on its central
stand.
• Turn the ignition key to "ON".
• Ensure that the throttle is in the OFF position.
• Grip the grab handle with your right hand.
• Operate the kick-start until the engine starts.
Starting off
The vehicle is on its stand with the engine running.
• Squeeze the brake lever with your left hand, grip the grab
handle with your right hand and push the vehicle forwards to
fold up the central stand.
• Sit on the vehicle.
• Release the left brake and turn the throttle slowly with your
right hand to start moving.
Accelerating and decelerating
B
To accelerate, turn the throttle towards (A). To slow down, turn
the throttle towards (B).
Braking
The right lever controls the front brake and the left lever controls
the rear brake.
For good braking, it is very important to coordinate the following
actions:
• Close the throttle.
• Operate the left and right brake levers simultaneously and
slowly increase the pressure.
Using only one brake reduces braking efficiency
and can lock the wheel, causing a fall.
Braking suddenly on a wet road or in a bend should
be avoided.
Reduce speed on steep slopes to avoid prolonged braking, as
overheating will reduce braking efficiency.
Reproduction or translation, even partial, is forbidden without the written consent of Peugeot Motocycles

DRIVING

A

FUEL-FUEL SAVING

This engine is designed to run on 95 or
98 unleaded fuel only.
The fuel tank should only be filled when the
engine is completely off and avoiding
overflowing. Any overflows must be wiped up
immediately.
To reduce fuel consumption and protect your vehicle's
mechanics.
• Avoid using very high revs over very short distances.
• Do not race the engine when declutched.
• Ensure that the weight of the user, the passenger,
luggage and accessories does not exceed the
maximum authorised load.
• Switch off the engine, even during a short halt.
Managing fuel consumption is also a way of personally
contributing to environmental protection.

RUNNING IN THE ENGINE

You are advised to maintain a constant speed and avoid using
the vehicle at more than 80% of its maximum speed for the first
500 kilometres.
After the first 500 kilometres, the speed can be progressively
increased to reach maximum speed, but avoid using this
speed for extended periods.
While the engine is being run in, you are advised not to overload
the vehicle to avoid the engine operating temperature rising
above normal.
The engine will only reach maximum performance after several
thousand kilometres.
