4.7 SAFETY INFORMATION AND IMPORTANT RIDING
POINTS
•
Always wear a helmet (homologated), which must be correctly
fastened (this applies also to passengers) and suitable
garments. Avoid wearing loose fitting, hanging and unbuttoned
garments.
1
•
Keep the visor (or protective goggles) and windscreen clean.
•
Adjust the rear view mirrors.
2
•
Always drive seated, with both hands on the handlebar and
feet on the footrests.
•
Warm up the engine and let it run idle for a few minutes before
3
setting off.
•
Always, keep at a safe distance from other vehicles. When
driving behind other vehicles or in slow traffic, if the speed
4
needed is very close to minimum engine speed, maintaining
this speed would cause continuous slipping and overheat the
clutch. It is best to rev up and slow down at a regular frequency
in order to maintain the clutch in working order.
5
•
On dry road, without sand or gravel, use both brakes: using
one brake can cause dangerous and unexpected slipping.
6
•
On wet road, drive with care and at a low speed: use brakes
"gently" and entrust braking to the "engine brake".
•
Good psychological and physical conditions are fundamental
for safe riding. Driving under the effect of drugs, alcohol or
28
psychotropic drugs, or in conditions of excessive fatigue or
sleepiness, can be extremely dangerous.
•
Changes of direction, changes of lane, turns into side streets,
or stops must always be signalled using the turn indicators.
•
Near stop signals, red traffic lights, level crossings, speed
control humps, etc. slow down gently and in good time. Safety
is important for you but also for other drivers.
•
Drive with the lights on, even during the day.
•
When stopping the vehicle after a long ride at high rpm, do not
turn the engine off immediately, but let it run idle for about 30
seconds.
•
There is a safety system, based on lateral inclination, which
turns the vehicle off if it falls.
•
Before riding, always check: the level of engine oil and coolant,
the condition and pressure of tires, the electrical and braking
system for malfunctioning.
•
Use only unleaded petrol and the lubricants recommended by
the Maker. Avoid mixing incompatible types of oil.
•
Do not use your mobile phone, in disagreement with the law,
whilst driving or fuelling.
•
Never allow passengers to use mobile phones during the
journey, in disagreement with the law, ask them to hold the
handles (13 - Fig. 2, page 7).
