Difficult Starting; Stopping The Engine - Malaguti Madison3 125ie Manuel D'utilisation Et D'entretien

4.3.1 DIFFICULT STARTING

In the unlikely event that the engine is flooded, you can attempt
starting by keeping the throttle lever partially or fully open. In any
case, have the vehicle checked by an Authorised MALAGUTI Serv-
ice Centre to check why this happened and to resume normal
conditions.
4.4 SETTING OFF
• Get onto the vehicle whilst pulling the rear brake lever, and
keeping both hands on the handlebar.
• Check the position of the rear view mirrors.
• Warm the engine up for a few seconds before setting off.
• Make sure the centre stand is in its idle position (up).
• Look out for oncoming traffic, switch on the turn indicator light.
• Release brake, turn the throttle grip gently and set off.
Do not rev up while pulling the brakes.
The automatic transmission runs the rear wheel, even
when the throttle lever is operated gently. Gradually
release the brake after starting and use the throttle with
care.
(250cc version only)
Make sure the fuel tank contains enough fuel (approx. 1
litre) to safeguard the condition of the fuel pump. No fuel
in the pump could cause serious damage.
If the fuel reserve light comes on, have fuel added at the
nearest service station.
4.5 BRAKING
• Close the throttle grip and operate both brake levers gently to
balance the power on both levers, so as to avoid dangerous
skidding.
The brakes are operated as follows:
Left hand lever:
Right hand lever: operates the front brake.
