Safe driving (02_18)

Some simple tips are provided below that will enable you to use your vehicle on a daily
basis in greater safety and peace of mind. Your mechanical knowledge and ability are
the foundation for safe driving. For this reason, try out the vehicle somewhere without

1. Before riding off, remember to put the helmet on and fasten it correctly.
2. Slow down and drive carefully over bumpy roads.

4. Do not brake hard on wet, unmade or otherwise slippery road surfaces.
5. Do not start off by getting on the vehicle while it is standing on its stand. In any case,
the rear wheel should not be turning when it comes into contact with the ground, in
order to avoid abrupt departures.
6. If the vehicle is used on roads covered with sand, mud, snow mixed with salt, etc.
clean the brake disc frequently with a mild detergent in order to prevent abrasive par-

CAUTION
ANY ELABORATION THAT MODIFIES THE VEHICLE'S PERFORMANCES, SUCH
