Ride prudently to gradually gain familiarity with the motorcycle, testing pro-
gressively higher throttle apertures only as you gain confidence
CAUTION

Do not twist the throttle grip abruptly and completely when the engine is
working at a low revs, either during or after run-in.

prolonged braking. That is to permit the adequate adjustment of the pad fric-

This vehicle is extremely powerful and must be used carefully and driven with
caution and respect for its power and potential.
Do not carry objects in the top fairing (between the handlebar and the instrument
panel) so that the handlebar can turn freely and the instrument panel is visible
at all times.
