STOPPING AND PARKING

Decelerate and switch the engine into neutral. To switch off the engine at
idling speed, press the short-circuit switch or the emergency off switch
until the engine is off. Close the fuel taps, park the motorcycle on a firm
surface and lock.
WARNING: Motorcycle engines produce a great amount of heat
while running. The engine, exhaust pipe, muffler, brake rotors,
and shock absorbers can become very hot. Do not touch any
of these parts after operating the motorcycle, and take care
to park it where pedestrians are not likely to touch it and get
burned.
CAUTION: Do not use the hand decompressor lever to switch
off the engine. Always use the short-circuit switch, the emer-
gency off switch.
Close the fuel tap when leaving your vehicle.Otherwise the
carburettor can flood and fuel will enter the engine.
Never park your motorcycle in places where there are fire
hazards due to dry grass or other easily flammable
materials.
NOTE REGARDING THE SIDE STAND: Use your foot to kick
side stand forward up to the stop and lean the motorcycle
sideways. Make sure that the ground is solid and that your
motorcycle is standing securely. Just in case, you can shift
into first gear.For off-road riding, you can use the rubber
band to additionally secure the center stand in its folded-up
position
CAUTION: The side stand is designed to bear only the load
of the motorcycle. The side stand and/or the frame can be
damaged and the motorcycle can fall over if you mount the
motor-cycle, thus putting an additional load on the side stand.

FUEL

The engine needs unleaded fuel with at least RON 95 (USA = Premium
RON 91).
CAUTION: Use leaded or unleaded premium grade gasoline
(95 octanes). Never use gasoline having less than 95 octa-
nes because it may damage the engine.
WARNING: Gasoline is highly flammable and poisonous.
Extreme caution should be used when handling gasoline. Do
not refuel the motorcycle near open flames or burning ciga-
rettes. Always switch off the engine before refuelling. Be
careful not to spill gasoline on the engine or exhaust pipe while
the engine is hot. Wipe up spills promptly. If gasoline is swal-
lowed or splashed in the eyes, seek a doctor's advice imme-
diately.
Fuel expands when its temperature rises. Therefore do not fill the tank to
the top (see fig.).
