•
Turn on the engine.
•
Adjust the inclination of the rear-view mirrors to ensure proper visibility.
CAUTION
WITH THE VEHICLE AT STANDSTILL, PRACTICE USING THE REAR-VIEW MIR-
RORS. THE MIRRORS ARE CONVEX, SO OBJECTS MAY SEEM FARTHER
03_20

VIEW AND ONLY EXPERIENCE HELPS YOU JUDGE THE DISTANCE SEPARAT-
ING YOU AND THE VEHICLE BEHIND.

•
Slowly release the clutch lever while simultaneously accelerating by gently
twisting the throttle grip (1) (Pos.B).
The vehicle starts moving forward.
CAUTION
DO NOT RELEASE THE CLUTCH TOO QUICKLY OR SUDDENLY, AS THIS
COULD CAUSE THE ENGINE TO STALL OR THE VEHICLE TO REAR UP ON THE
03_21
BACK WHEEL. DO NOT ACCELERATE SUDDENLY WHEN RELEASING THE
CLUTCH FOR THE SAME REASON.
