Acceleration and deceleration

ZAUM0199
The speed can be adjusted by opening
and closing the throttle. To increase
the speed, turn the throttle grip in di-
rection (a). To reduce the speed, turn

Braking

WARNING
 Avoid braking hard or suddenly
(b)
(especially when leaning over to
one side), otherwise the vehicle
may skid or overturn.
 Railroad crossings, streetcar
(a)
rails, iron plates on road con-
struction sites, and manhole
covers become extremely slip-
pery when wet. Therefore, slow
down when approaching such
areas and cross them with cau-
tion.
 Keep in mind that braking on a
wet road is much more difficult.
 Ride slowly down a hill, as brak-
ing downhill can be very diffi-
cult.
1. Close the throttle completely.
2. Apply both front and rear brakes
simultaneously while gradually in-
creasing the pressure.

Tips for reducing fuel con-
sumption
Fuel consumption depends largely on
your riding style. Consider the follow-
ing tips to reduce fuel consumption:
 Avoid high engine speeds during
acceleration.
 Avoid high engine speeds with no
load on the engine.
 Turn the engine off instead of let-
ting it idle for an extended length
of time (e.g., in traffic jams, at traf-
fic lights or at railroad crossings).
