Characteristics
•
If there is dirt, rust, moisture, etc., carefully clean the inside of the connector using pressur-
ised air.
•
Ensure that the cables make correct contact with the terminals inside the connectors.
•
Then plug in the two connectors, ensuring correct coupling (if the specific catches are
present, you will hear a typical "click").
CAUTION
TO UNPLUG THE TWO CONNECTORS, DO NOT PULL ON THE CABLES.
NOTE
THE TWO CONNECTORS CAN BE PLUGGED IN ONLY IN ONE DIRECTION, THEREFORE JOIN
THEM TOGETHER IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION.
TIGHTENING TORQUES
CAUTION
REMEMBER THAT THE TIGHTENING TORQUE FOR ALL THE FIXING ELEMENTS LOCATED ON
WHEELS, BRAKES, WHEEL AXLES AND OTHER SUSPENSION COMPONENTS PLAY A FUN-
DAMENTAL ROLE IN GUARANTEEING THE SAFETY OF THE VEHICLE AND MUST BE KEPT AT
THE PRESCRIBED VALUES. REGULARLY CHECK THE TIGHTENING TORQUE OF THE FIXING
ELEMENTS AND ALWAYS USE A TORQUE WRENCH WHEN REFITTING. IF THESE WARNINGS
ARE NOT OBSERVED, ONE OF THESE COMPONENTS COULD LOOSEN AND COME OFF,
BLOCKING A WHEEL OR CAUSING OTHER PROBLEMS THAT WOULD COMPROMISE MA-
NOEUVRABILITY, LEADING TO A CRASH WITH THE RISK OF SERIOUS INJURY OR EVEN
DEATH.
Running-in
Running in is essential to ensure the durability of the vehicle. During the first 1500 Km (932 mi), observe
the following rules to ensure the reliability and performance of the vehicle throughout its lifetime:
•
Avoid full throttle starts and hard acceleration;
•
Avoid exceeding 4,500 rpm;
•
Avoid hard or prolonged braking;
•
Do not ride for prolonged periods at sustained high speed; preferably ride the motorcycle
on varied routes with frequent, gentle acceleration and deceleration;
•
Ride prudently to gradually gain familiarity with the motorcycle, testing progressively higher
throttle apertures only as you gain confidence
CAUTION
THE FULL PERFORMANCE OF THE VEHICLE IS ONLY AVAILABLE AFTER THE SERVICE AT
THE END OF THE RUNNING IN PERIOD.
Follow these guidelines:
•
Do not twist the throttle grip abruptly and completely when the engine is working at a low
revs, either during or after run-in.
•
During the first 100 Km (62 miles) use the brakes gently, avoiding sudden or prolonged
braking. That is to permit the adequate adjustment of the pad friction material to the brake
discs.
