CLEANING THE VEHICLE WARNING: Do not clean your vehicle with a high-pressure device with a strong jet of water. Excessive pressure can reach electrical components, connectors, fl exible cables, bearings, etc and can damage or destroy them. WARNING: Wash motorbikes frequently that are used near the sea (salty air) and on roads subject to salt spreading in winter.
PROLONGED INACTIVITY A few simple operations should be performed to keep the vehicle in good condition whenever it is to remain inactive for a long period (e.g. during the winter): • Thoroughly clean the vehicle. • Reduce the tyre pressures by approximately 30 percent, and if possible raise the tyres off the ground.
REMOVAL AND REFITTING OF THE SADDLE Press button 1. Remove the saddle towards the rear of the motorcycle. To re-assemble insert the cavity 1 of the saddle in slot 2. Press the saddle down in the middle and at the same time, push it forwards until the bayonet joint engages in its seat.
WARNING Make sure the bayonet joint 3 is fi rmly inserted into the button lock. REMOVING AND INSTALLING AIR FILTER COVER PANEL Remove the saddle (page 70). Grab the side panel in the front side and pull out. To refi t insert the tabs 1 into their slots. Slide the side panel toward the vehicle.
TROUBLESHOOTING PROBLEM CAUSE REMEDY Engine does not start - Fuel system clogged (fuel lines, fuel Contact authorised BETAMOTOR tank, fuel cock) customer service - Air fi lter dirty Check the air fi lter - No current supplied to spark plug Clean or replace the spark plug.
