WARNING
Operation and important riding points
Braking
Avoid braking hard or suddenly
(especially when leaning over to
one side), otherwise the scooter
may skid or overturn.
Railroad crossings, streetcar
rails, iron plates on road con-
struction sites, and manhole
covers become extremely slip-
pery when wet. Therefore, slow
down when approaching such
areas and cross them with cau-
tion.
Keep in mind that braking on a
wet road is much more difficult.
Ride slowly down a hill, as brak-
ing downhill can be very diffi-
cult.
Close the throttle completely.
Apply both front and rear brakes
simultaneously while gradually in-
creasing the pressure.

Tips for reducing fuel consump-
tion
Fuel consumption depends largely on
your riding style. Consider the follow-
ing tips to reduce fuel consumption:
Avoid high engine speeds during
acceleration.
Avoid high engine speeds with no
load on the engine.
Turn the engine off instead of let-
ting it idle for an extended length of
time (e.g., in traffic jams, at traffic
lights or at railroad crossings).
Engine break-in
There is never a more important
period in the life of your engine than
the period between 0 and 1600 km
(1000 mi). For this reason, you should
read the following material carefully.
Since the engine is brand new, do not
put an excessive load on it for the first
1600 km (1000 mi). The various parts
in the engine wear and polish
themselves to the correct operating
clearances. During this period,
prolonged full-throttle operation or any
condition that might result in engine
overheating must be avoided.
0–1000 km (0–600 mi)
Avoid prolonged operation above 1/3
throttle. NOTICE: After 1000 km
(600mi) of operation, be sure to
replace the engine oil and final
transmission oil.
1000–1600 km (600–1000 mi)
Avoid prolonged operation above 1/2
throttle.
