RIDING INSTRUCTIONS
Info
Pull the shift lever quickly back to the stop without changing the throttle twist
grip position.
After reaching maximum speed by fully opening the throttle grip, turn the throttle back
so it is ¾ open. This will barely reduce the speed but fuel consumption will be consid-
erably lower.
Accelerate only up to a speed suitable for the road surface and weather conditions. Par-
ticularly in bends, do not shift, and accelerate very carefully.
Brake if necessary and close the throttle at the same time in order to shift down.
Pull the clutch lever and shift into a lower gear, release the clutch lever slowly, and
open the throttle or shift again.
Info
Even if the quickshifter is enabled in the combination instrument, you still need
to pull the clutch lever to shift down.
If the engine stalls (e.g. at a crossroads), just pull the clutch lever and press the elec-
tric starter button. You do not have to shift into neutral.
Switch off the engine if running at idle or standing for a long time.
