After the motorcycle has been
washed.
Riding on salted or gritted
roads.
After work has been carried on

or grease.
Riding on dirt-covered surfaces
or off-road.
Wetness and dirt result in
poor braking efficiency.
Apply the brakes lightly while
riding to remove wetness and
dirt, or dismount and clean the

restored.
Parking your
motorcycle
Side stand
Switch off the engine.
If the ground is soft or un-
even, there is no guaran-
tee that the motorcycle will rest
firmly on the stand.
Always check that the ground
under the stand is level and
firm.
Extend the side stand and prop
the motorcycle on the stand.
The side stand is designed
to support only the weight
of the motorcycle.
Do not lean or sit on the
motorcycle with the side stand
extended.
If the camber of the roadway
permits, turn the handlebars all
the way to the left.
On a gradient, the motorcycle
should always face uphill; se-
lect 1st gear.
Refuelling
Fuel grade
For optimum fuel consumption,
fuel should be sulphur-free or
with the lowest sulphur content
possible.
Leaded fuel will destroy the
catalytic converter.
Do not attempt to run the vehicle
on leaded fuel or fuel with metal-
lic additives, e.g. manganese or
iron.
You can run the engine on fuel
with a maximum ethanol con-
tent of 10%, i.e. E10.
