Automatictransmission

To ensure simple, pleasurable riding, the scooter is equipped with automatic trans-
mission with regulator and centrifugal clutch. The system is designed to give the best
possible performance in terms of both acceleration and consumption, on level ground
and uphill, thanks to the adjustments made to engine speed and transmitted torque.
If you have to stop on an uphill slope (traffic lights, traffic jam, etc.) only use the brake
to keep the vehicle still, leaving the motor running at idling speed. Using the motor to
keep the vehicle still can cause the clutch to overheat. This problem is due to the
friction of the clutch parts on the capstan. It is therefore recommended to avoid con-
ditions of prolonged clutch slippage leading to clutch overheating (for example,
besides the situation described before, driving uphill fully laden on steep slopes or
starting off at greater than 35%
In countries where carrying passengers is permitted the maximum admissible slope
is 24%):
1.Do not continue riding in such conditions.
2. Let the clutch cool down with the engine at idle speed for a few minutes.
