INDICATIONS FOR COMMISSIONING
- Make sure that the motorcycle’s “PRE-DELIVERY OPERATIONS” have been performed by your TM dealer.
- Carefully read all the instructions before using the motorcycle for the first time.
- Be familiar with all the control components.
- Adjust the clutch lever, the front brake lever and the brake pedal to the most comfortable position.
- Practice handling the motorcycle in an empty car park or on easy terrain before going on a long drive. Try to stand up on the
motorcycle at low speed once to get more used to the motorcycle.
- Do not choose routes that are too difficult for your skills and experience.
- Hold the handlebar with both hands and keep your feet on the footrests.
- Be sure not to press the brake pedal with your foot if you do not want to stop. If the brake pedal is not released, the brake pads
rub continuously causing the brake to overheat.
- Do not make changes to the motorcycle and always use TM ORIGINAL SPARE PARTS. Spare parts from other manufacturers may
affect the safety of the motorcycle.
- Motorcycles are sensitive to shifts in weight distribution. Luggage must be fastened at the centre of the motorcycle and its weight
must be evenly distributed between the front and rear wheels.
- Follow the break-in instructions.
WARNING
THE 250Fi/450Fi/530F EN/MX/SMX MODELS HAVE BEEN DEVELOPED UNCOMPROMISINGLY FOR OFF-ROAD COMPETITIONS. ALTHOUGH THE EN
MODELS ARE APPROVED FOR ROAD USE, WE RECOMMEND CAUTION WHEN USING THEM ON THE ROAD. AVOID TRAVELLING LONG DISTANCES
AT FULL SPEED.
SAFETY STANDARDS
- ALWAYS WEAR SUITABLE CLOTHES WHEN USING THE MOTORCYCLE. BIKERS THAT RIDE A TM ALWAYS WEAR APPROVED HELMET, BOOTS,
GLOVES AND JACKET, BOTH FOR LONG JOURNEYS AND SHORT DISTANCES. PROTECTIVE GEAR SHOULD BE HIGHLY VISIBLE TO ALLOW OTHER
DRIVERS ON THE ROAD TO RECOGNISE THE BIKER IMMEDIATELY.
- ALWAYS TURN ON THE HEADLIGHT DURING TRAVELS IN ORDER TO BE IMMEDIATELY VISIBLE TO OTHER DRIVERS.
- DO NOT DRIVE AFTER CONSUMING ALCOHOLIC BEVERAGES.
- ALWAYS USE TM ORIGINAL ACCESSORIES. FOR EXAMPLE, FRONT COATINGS MAY AFFECT MOTORCYCLE PERFORMANCE WHEN TRAVELLING
AT HIGH SPEED. EVEN LUGGAGE, ADDITIONAL TANKS, ETC. MAY AFFECT MOTORCYCLE PERFORMANCE DUE TO THE DIFFERENT WEIGHT
DISTRIBUTION.
- BOTH THE FRONT AND THE REAR WHEELS MUST BE EQUIPPED WITH TYRES WITH THE SAME TYPE OF PROFILE.
- AFTER THE FIRST 30 MINUTES OF DRIVING, IT IS ABSOLUTELY NECESSARY TO CHECK THE TENSION OF THE SPOKES. SPOKE TENSION
DECREASES AFTER A SHORT TIME ON NEW WHEELS. IF YOU KEEP DRIVING WITH LOOSE SPOKES, THEY MAY BREAK CAUSING UNSTABLE
DRIVING (SEE CHECKING SPOKE TENSION)
- THE RACING MODELS WERE DESIGNED AND ARRANGED FOR ONE SINGLE SEAT. TAKING A PASSENGER WITH YOU IS PROHIBITED.
- COMPLY WITH TRAFFIC REGULATIONS. DRIVE WITH CAUTION IN ORDER TO RECOGNISE DANGERS AS SOON AS POSSIBLE.
- ADJUST THE SPEED OF THE VEHICLE ACCORDING TO THE CONDITIONS OF THE ROAD AND YOUR DRIVING SKILLS.
- DRIVE WITH CAUTION ON UNKNOWN ROADS OR TERRAINS.
- WHEN GOING OFF ROAD, ALWAYS GO WITH A FRIEND WITH A SECOND MOTORCYCLE SO YOU CAN HELP EACH OTHER SHOULD THE NEED
ARISE.
- PROMPTLY REPLACE THE VISOR OR LENSES OF YOUR GLASSES. SCRATCHED VISORS OR GLASSES MAKE IT NEARLY IMPOSSIBLE TO SEE
AGAINST THE LIGHT.
