Driving

The engine speed, and thus the driving speed, are regulated by
the throttle grip.
The choke must always be deactivated as soon as the engine
has warmed up.
If your motorcycle has a Dell'orto carburetor, briefly open the
throttle all the way to restore the choke lever to its original position.
If your motorcycle has a Mikuni carburetor, pull the choke lever
upwards into the original position.
