Automatic transmission

To ensure simple, pleasurable riding, the vehicle is equipped with automatic trans-
mission with regulator and centrifugal clutch. The system is designed to provide the
best performance (acceleration and consumption) while driving on both flat roads and
uphill.
If you have to stop up a hill (traffic lights, traffic jam, etc.) use only the brake to keep
the vehicle still, leaving the engine running at idle speed. Using the engine to
keep the vehicle still can cause the clutch to overheat, due to the friction of the
clutch masses against the capstan. Do not accelerate with the hand brake en-
gaged. It is always advisable to avoid prolonged clutch slippage conditions (besides
those previously indicated) like driving up a steep hill fully loaded or starting off with
rider and passenger on a slope with a gradient greater than 25%.
Take the following precautions if the clutch overheats:
1. Do not continue riding in such conditions.
2. Let the clutch cool down with the engine at idle speed for a few minutes.
