Stopping and parking

Apply the brakes fully and put the engine into neutral. To stop the engine,
switch off the ignition. Turn the fuel tap to the OFF position, park on an area
where the ground is firm, and lock the motorcycle.
– ALWAYS PARK YOUR MOTORBIKE ON A SOLID AND HORIZONTAL SURFACE.
– NEVER LEAVE YOUR MOTORCYCLE WITHOUT SUPERVISION AS LONG AS THE
ENGINE IS RUNNING.
– MOTORCYCLE ENGINES PRODUCE A GREAT AMOUNT OF HEAT WHILE RUN-
NING. THE ENGINE RADIATORS, EXHAUST, EXHAUST SYSTEM, BRAKE DISCS,
AND SHOCK ABSORBERS CAN BECOME VERY HOT. DO NOT TOUCH ANY OF
THESE PARTS AFTER OPERATING THE MOTORCYCLE, AND TAKE CARE TO PARK
IT WHERE PEDESTRIANS ARE NOT LIKELY TO TOUCH IT AND GET BURNED
– NEVER PARK YOUR MOTORCYCLE IN PLACES WHERE THERE EXIST FIRE HAZ-
ARDS DUE TO DRY GRASS OR OTHER EASILY FLAMMABLE MATERIALS.
– NEVER LEAVE YOUR MOTORCYCLE WITHOUT SUPERVISION AS LONG AS THE
ENGINE IS RUNNING.
– CLOSE THE FUEL TAP WHEN LEAVING YOUR VEHICLE.OTHERWISE THE CAR-
BURETOR CAN OVERFLOW AND FUEL WILL ENTER THE ENGINE.
– ALWAYS TAKE OUT THE IGNITION KEY WHEN PARKING YOUR MOTORCYCLE
SO THAT IT CANNOT BE USED BY UNAUTHORIZED PERSONS.
INFORMATION ABOUT THE SIDE STAND:
Use your foot to push the side stand forward as far as possible, and lean your
motorcycle to the side. Make sure that your motorcycle is standing safely on
solid ground. Just in case, you can also put in a gear.
– PARK YOUR MOTORCYCLE, SO THAT IT RESTS STABLY ON THE SIDESTAND (HARD
GROUND, LEVEL SURFACE) AND CAN'T TIP OVER.
– THE SIDE STAND IS DIMENSIONED FOR THE WEIGHT OF THE MOTORCYCLE
ONLY. IF YOU ARE SITTING ON THE MOTORBIKE AND THUS APPLY AN ADDI-
TIONAL LOAD ONTO THE SIDE STAND, YOU MAY CAUSE DAMAGE TO THE SIDE
STAND OR THE FRAME, AND YOUR MOTORBIKE MAY FALL OVER.
NOTE REGARDING THE CENTER STAND: (is available as an accessory)
We advise the following procedure to place the motorcycle on the center stand
as effortlessly as possible:
a) press main stand to ground using foot
b) swing out kickstarter and pull motorcycle backwards at an angle as
trated (see illustration).
Make sure that the ground is solid and that your motorcycle is standing
securely.
THE CENTER STAND IS DESIGNED TO HOLD THE WEIGHT OF THE MOTORCYCLE
ONLY. BY SITTING ON THE MOTORCYCLE, YOU WILL PUT ADDITIONAL WEIGHT ON
THE CENTER STAND, POSSIBLY CAUSING THE CENTER STAND OR FRAME TO BE
DAMAGED OR THE MOTORCYCLE TO FALL DOWN.

Fuel

In the condition at delivery, the LC4 engine requires unleaded premium-grade
fuel with at least 95 octane (ROZ).
If using lower octane fuel, it is easy to change over to the pre-programmed
ignition curve for 80 - 94 octane (ROZ) (see activating the ignition curve for
low-octane fuel).
USE UNLEADED PREMIUM-GRADE 95 OCTANE (ROZ) FUEL. IF USING LOWER
OCTANE FUEL, THE IGNITION CURVE MUST BE CHANGED, OTHERWISE ENGINE
DAMAGE WILL OCCUR.

GASOLINE IS HIGHLY FLAMMABLE AND POISONOUS. EXTREME CAUTION SHOULD
BE USED WHEN HANDLING GASOLINE. DO NOT REFUEL THE MOTORCYCLE NEAR
OPEN FLAMES OR BURNING CIGARETTES. ALWAYS SWITCH OFF THE ENGINE
BEFORE REFUELLING. BE CAREFUL NOT TO SPILL GASOLINE ON THE ENGINE OR
EXHAUST PIPE WHILE THE ENGINE IS HOT. WIPE UP SPILLS PROMPTLY. IF GASO-
LINE IS SWALLOWED OR SPLASHED IN THE EYES, SEEK A DOCTOR'S ADVICE IMME-
DIATELY.
Fuel expands when its temperature rises. Therefore do not fill the tank to the
top (see fig.).
