SETTING OFF

• Get onto the vehicle whilst pulling the rear brake
lever, and keeping both hands on the handlebar.
• Check the position of the rear view mirrors.
• Warm the engine up for a few seconds before setting
off.
• Make sure the centre stand is in its idle position (up).
• Look out for oncoming traffic, switch on the turn
indicator light.
• Release brake, turn the throttle grip gently and set
off.
Do not rev up while pulling the brakes.
The automatic transmission runs the rear wheel,
even when the throttle lever is operated gently.
Gradually release the brake after starting and
use the throttle with care.
Make sure the fuel tank contains enough fuel
(approx. 1 litres) to safeguard the condition of
the fuel pump. No fuel in the pump could cause
serious damage. If the fuel reserve light comes on,
have fuel added at the nearest service station.
