Antes de comenzar con cualquier tipo de mantenimiento o inspección del vehículo, apague el motor y quite la llave, espere a que el motor y el sistema de escape se hayan enfriado y levante el vehículo con un equipo adecuado, sobre una superficie sólida y plana. Use +maintenance book SAFETY WARNINGS The following precautionary warnings are used throughout this manual in order to convey the following messages: TECHNICAL INFORMATION The operations preceded by this symbol must be repeated also on the opposite side of the vehicle. If not expressly indicated otherwise, for the reassembly of the units repeat the disassembly operations in reverse order. [. . . ] The use of the engine to keep the vehicle steady may cause the overheating of the clutch. Before beginning to turn, slow down or brake driving at moderate and constant speed or accelerating slightly; avoid braking at the last moment: it would be very easy to skid. If the brakes are operated continuously on downhill stretches, the friction surfaces may overheat, thus reducing the braking efficiency. Exploit the engine compression and shift down by putting on both brakes intermittently. Never drive downhill with the engine off!When visibility is insufficient, switch on the low beam even during the day, in order to make your vehicle more visible. In case of wet ground or scarce wheel grip (snow, ice, mud, etc. ), drive slowly, avoiding sudden brakings or manoeuvres that could make you lose grip and fall down. If necessary, pull the brake levers moderately and decrease the speed of the vehicle. Pull the clutch lever (3) and lower the shifting lever (4) to shift down. If the brake levers are pulled, release them. Avoid opening and closing the throttle grip repeatedly and continuously, so that you do not accidentally lose control of the vehicle. If you have to brake, close the throttle and put on both brakes in order to obtain uniform deceleration, properly exerting pressure on the braking parts. By putting on the front brake only or the rear brake only, you reduce the braking force considerably, thus running the risk of locking one wheel and consequently losing grip. If a temperature of 126 ­ 135 °C (259 ­ 275 °F) is displayed on the right side of the multifunction display and the last two segments of the indicator range blink, stop the vehicle and let the engine idle for approximately two minutes, thus allowing the coolant to circulate regularly in the system; then, press the engine stop switch to position "?Pay the utmost attention to any obstacle or variation of the ground. Uneven roads, rails, manhole covers, indications painted on the road surface, building site metal plates become rather slippery by rain. For this reason all these obstacles have to be carefully avoided, driving smoothly and leaning the vehicle as little as possible. Always use the turn indicators in time when you intend to change lane or direction, avoiding sharp and dangerous movements. Switch off the direction indicators as soon as you have changed direction. Be extremely careful when you overtake other vehicles or are overtaken. In case of rain, the water cloud created by big vehicles reduces visibility; the air shift may make you lose control of the vehicle. [. . . ] Do not apply protection waxes onto the saddle, in order not to make it too slippery. , so that both tyres are raised from the ground. Cover the vehicle avoiding the use of plastic or waterproof materials. If the vehicle remains unused for more than twenty days, disconnect the 30A fuses, in order to avoid the deterioration of the battery caused by the current consumption due to the multifunction computer.
