Remarque :
Engine damage
High revving speed with a cold engine negatively impacts the lifespan of the engine.
• Always run the engine warm at a low speed.
The motorcycle has been out of use for more than 1 week
The motorcycle has been out of use for more than 1 week:
• Empty the carburetor float chamber.
• Turn the knurled screw on the fuel tap all the way counterclockwise.
Fuel can flow from the fuel tank to the carburetor:
• Remove the stand
• Pull the choke all the way to the stop
• Forcefully step on the kick starter, pushing it all the way forward
If the motorcycle is unwilling to start, the cause can be old fuel in the float chamber. The
flammable elements of the fuel evaporate after a long time of standing.
If the float chamber is filled with fresh fuel, the engine starts immediately.
6.3 Riding
First gear is used for starting o and for steep inclines.
Danger of accidents
If you change down at high engine speed, the rear wheel blocks and the engine races.
Do not change into a low gear at high engine speed.
If you hear unusual noises while riding, stop immediately, switch o the engine and contact an
authorized Apollo workshop.
• If you pushed the cold start button while starting, open the throttle briefly and release the
throttle grip or turn the throttle grip for-ward.
• After reaching maximum speed by fully opening the throttle grip, turn the throttle back so
it is 3/4 open. This will barely reduce the speed but fuel consumption will be considerably
lower.
• Always open the throttle only as much as the engine can handle – abrupt throttle opening
increases fuel consumption.
• Switch o the engine if running at idle or standing for a long time. Guideline ≥ 1 min
