Instructions For Starting The Cycle The First Time; Running-In Period - GAS GAS MC65 - 2006 User Manual

Instructions for starting the cycle the first time

- Check that the work detailed in "Checks each time you
start the motorcycle" has been carried out by your
representative.
- Carry out the preliminary driving trials with your child,
preferably in a field or garden to prevent injury in the
event that the child falls. The available area should, of
course, be large enough to allow different driving
manoeuvres. Take care to avoid collisions with other
drivers.
- To allow your child to become accustomed to the brake
lever action, the motorcycle should be pushed during the
preliminary trials. Do not start the engine until the child
is correctly able to control the brake lever.
- Initially, the child should be between two people who
help him/her to stop the motorcycle. Explain the procedure
for stopping alone to your child.
- To improve driving techniques, the child should also try
to walk as slowly as possible while straddling the
motorcycle. Position obstacles which the child should try
to avoid, etc.
- Follow the instructions for running-in.

Running-in period

Care of the engine during the first hours of use is vital for
obtaining the best from your motorcycle.
Therefore, we recommend:
- Keeping strictly to the ratios of oil and petrol shown,
using 100% synthetic oil – see the section "Fuel – Petrol/oil
mixture", page 16.
- In the first hour of use, keep the engine at a moderate
turnover speed (never go to maximum turnover).
- Constantly change the speed, by opening and closing
the throttle alternately.
- Only GAS GAS approved accessories should be used.
- The front and rear wheels should be fitted with tyres of
the same profile. Only approved tyres should be used.
- Replace the helmet visor or the goggle lenses if
scratched.
- Never leave the motorcycle with the engine running.
Remember that excessive noise may bother other people.
