Safe driving (03_31, 03_32, 03_33, 03_34)

Some simple tips are provided below that will enable you to use your vehicle on a daily
basis in greater safety and peace of mind. Your mechanical knowledge and ability are
the foundation for safe riding. We recommend trying out the vehicle in traffic-free
zones to familiarise with it.
1. Before riding off, remember to put the helmet on and fasten it correctly.
2. Slow down and drive carefully over bumpy roads.
3. After riding over a long stretch of wet road without using the brakes, braking will not
be as efficient the first time/s you use them again. When riding under conditions like

this, you should brake periodically.
4. Do not brake hard on a wet, unsurfaced or slippery road.
5. Do not start off by getting on the vehicle while it is standing on its stand. In any case,
the rear wheel should not be turning when it comes into contact with the ground, in
order to avoid abrupt departures.
6. If the vehicle is used on roads covered with sand, mud, snow mixed with salt, etc.
clean the brake disc frequently with a mild detergent in order to prevent abrasive par-
ticles from building up inside the holes, which can result in early brake pad wear. We
also recommend to replace and/or clean the filter element of the purifier box more
frequently.
7. If there is a passenger, to guarantee the safety and comfort for the rider as well, it
is recommended for the passenger to hold the specific rear handlebar with his/her
hands during the ride.
