Safe driving

Some simple tips are provided below that will enable you to use your motorcycle on
a daily basis in greater safety and peace of mind. Your skill and your mechanical
knowledge are the basis of a safe ride. We recommend trying out the motorcycle in
traffic-free zones to familiarise with it.
1. Before starting to ride, remember to put on your helmet and fasten it correctly.
2. Slow down and drive carefully over bumpy roads.
3. After driving over a long stretch of wet road without using the brakes, braking will
not be as efficient the first time/s you use them again. When driving under conditions
like this, you should brake periodically.
4. Although the vehicle is equipped with an ABS system, pay attention when braking
on wet surfaces, on dirt or on a slippery road surface.
5. Avoid riding off by mounting the scooter when it is resting on its support.
6. When riding on roads covered with sand, mud, snow mixed with salt, etc. We rec-
ommend cleaning the brake discs frequently with a non-corrosive detergent in order
to prevent corrosive particles from building up in the holes, which may cause early
brake pad wear.
CAUTION
TRACTION CONTROL (MGCT) IS SET, AT THE END OF THE PRODUCTION OF
THE VEHICLE, ON LEVEL «3» AND MUST BE KEPT ACTIVE FOR THE ENTIRE
RUNNING PERIOD, TO ALLOW THE CORRECT ADJUSTMENT OF THE TYRES
TO ASPHALT CONDITIONS.
THE SAME NOTE ALSO APPLIES WHEN CHANGING THE TYRES.
