Ride by wire
The vehicle is fitted with an innovative throttle control system, called RIDE BY WIRE,
which ensures optimum engine performance, at all times, taking into account the rid-
er's demand, the general operating conditions plus the external conditions (atmos-
pheric pressure, temperature). If compared with traditional injection systems, it also
allows an electronic control of the throttle, thus replacing the traditional cable. When
riding at high altitudes, the RIDE BY WIRE system offsets the unavoidable loss of
power (1% every 100 metres of slope due to the reduced concentration of oxygen in
the air) by opening the throttle bodies. Therefore, the engine performance when torque
demand is requested by means of the throttle is the same as when riding on level
ground, thus shifting the characteristic power reduction to the highest speeds. As a
result, throttles are fully open but the throttle grip is not fully twisted; therefore, in case
the throttle grip is further and fully twisted, the vehicle performance will not be further
enhanced.

CAUTION
IF, WHILE RIDING, THE LOW FUEL WARNING LIGHT (1) ON THE INSTRUMENT
PANEL TURNS ON, IT MEANS THERE IS STILL SOME FUEL LEFT.
REFUEL AS SOON AS POSSIBLE.
CAUTION
WHEN TRAVELLING WITHOUT PASSENGERS, MAKE SURE THE PASSENGER
FOOTRESTS ARE FOLDED UP.
CAUTION
PASSENGERS MUST BE SUITABLY INSTRUCTED ON HOW TO BEHAVE TO
PREVENT DANGEROUS SITUATIONS WHEN RIDING.
BEFORE SETTING OFF, MAKE SURE THE STAND HAS BEEN COMPLETELY
RETRACTED TO ITS POSITION.
