Check-up
Before departure, always carry out a
preliminary checking of the vehicle to
make sure that it functions correctly and
safely. The non-performance of these
checking operations can cause serious
personal injuries or damages to the
vehicle. Do not hesitate to consult your
Derbi official dealer in case there is
something you don't understand about
the function of some checking opera-
tions, or in case you suspect or discover
some irregularities. It does not take too
long to carry out a check-up and this
operation ensures you more safety.
