cle.

Any modifications and tampering with the vehicle during the warranty period ex-
empt the manufacturer from all responsibility and invalidate warranty.
ECOLOGIC GUIDE
•Every vehicle powered by an internal combustion engine produces an amount of
noise (noise pollution) and gases (air pollution) which varies with the riding style.
•The abatement of noise and air pollution levels is the duty of everybody. Avoid full-
throttle starts, sudden acceleration and abrupt braking. This will reduce noise emis-
sion as well as the wear and tear of the tyres and mechanical parts, and will also
allow a considerable reduction in fuel consumption.

Note
The type, condition and pressure of the tyres affect the road holding of the vehicle.
For this reason it is essential to check them before each journey.
•The size of the tyres is shown in the technical specifications and in the vehicle
handbook.
•Check the condition of the tyres before each journey. Inspect the tyres for cuts and
for nails or other pointed objects sticking out of them. Regarding the minimum
allowable thickness of the tread, observe the regulations in force in your country.
We recommend replacing the tyres at the latest when the tread is 2 mm thick.
•Check the inflating pressure on a regular basis while the tyres are cold. Proper
pressure ensures optimum riding comfort and prolongs the life of the tyres.
STEERING LOCK
The vehicle is supplied with one key and
a spare to be used for the steering lock.
WARNING:
Do not keep the spare keys in the vehicle.
Keep the keys in a safe and easy-to-reach
place. The code number stamped on the
keys should be copied on this manual (or
elsewhere) so it can be used to ask for
duplicates should both keys be lost.
To engage the steering lock, fully turn the
handlebars to the right, insert the key, press
and turn it fully anticlockwise and then re-
lease it.
