USING THE GEARS
To shift gear, let go of the accelerator handle con-
trol, move the clutch lever and raise the gear lever
to up-shift or lower to down-shift.
If it is the first time you are riding a motorcycle, it is
as well to familiarise yourself with the controls and
their functions.
STOPPING THE ENGINE
!
Do not use the engine stop switch
when the vehicle is running (this
would cause a MOMENTARY stop of
the engine and subsequent restart
upon releasing the switch; this
could damage the engine and in
particular cause loss of control
over the vehicle).
To turn the engine off, stop the vehicle and put the
gear lever in neutral. Only then press the engine
stop switch and keep it pressed until the engine
comes to a COMPLETE stop.
Put the vehicle on its side stand after having dis-
mounted from the left side of the vehicle and if
necessary engage the steering lock, see under the
paragraph STEERING LOCK.

be sufficiently ventilated and there must be a suffi-
cient change of air in the room.

be dusty, dirty or cluttered with other parts not be-
longing to the vehicle.
- The tools and equipment must be suitable for the
type of maintenance to be carried out.
- Wear suitable clothing (work overalls), working
gloves, latex gloves, protective goggles (or mask)
during maintenance that requires them.
