Riding

At engine speeds below pullaway
rpm (approx. 2000 rpm) the
centrifugal clutch remains
disengaged, the Scooter is in
neutral.When engine speed
increases past pullaway rpm the
clutch engages and the Scooter
moves off.
At speeds from approx. 50 km/h
to approx. 110 km/h the engine
is running at constant speed and
operating in its maximum torque

band. Road speed is varied by
the change in transmission ratio
in the continuously variable trans-
mission. Consequently, engine
noise changes only slightly within
this speed range.
Engine speed does not increase
unless the vehicle is brought up
a speed higher than approx. 110
km/h.

Running in

Engine
Until the first inspection, vary
the throttle opening range fre-
quently.
Try to do most of your rid-
ing during this initial period on
twisting, fairly hilly roads, avoid-
ing high-speed main roads and
highways if possible.
Do not omit the first inspection
after 500 - 1200 km.
