Starting the engine
As you turn the ignition switch to the ON position,
the instruments and the warning lights will go
through the self-diagnostic cycle; during this phase,
make sure that all the warning lights on the dashbo-
ard come on. One of the following conditions must
be verified, in order that the ignition switch system
allows engine starting:
The gears are in neutral.
The gears are engaged, the clutch lever is pulled
and the side stand is up.
Press the start button without turning the throttle
twist grip.
As soon as the engine starts, release the button.
• Do not press the start button for lon-
ger than 5 consecutive seconds.
• Avoid warming up the engine while
the vehicle is stationary. It is advisable
to bring the engine to the working tem-
perature by riding at reduced speed.
• To ensure the maximum life of the
engine, never speed up at full throttle
when the engine is cold.

Improve our riding skills
Riding a motorcycle requires experience and concentration.
Inexperienced riders should undergo a period of training and attend an introductory course consisting of
theoretical lessons as well as practical riding sessions in areas closed to traffic.
The instructor's advice will help the novice rider become familiar with the basics of riding safety.
Relying on the advice of persons other than a qualified riding instructor, even if possessing specific
knowledge, may prove to be useless or even dangerous, especially if the practical training takes place in
an area open to traffic.
