BREAKING IN
Breaking in takes approximately 10 hours of operation.
During this time we suggest to:
•Ride after having well warmed the engine
•Avoid travel at constant speed
•Change speed often so that the parts wiII break in uniformly and in a shorter time
•Avoid turning the throttle more than 3/4 of the way.
Warning:
•After the first 5 hours of operation, change the gear box oil.
•Always use a mixture of unleaded super fuel and oil (mineral oiI 4%,
synthetic oil 1,5 %).
•After the first off-road use, check all the nuts and bolts.
NOTE:
For substitution, follow attentively the chart.

Using the switch shown in the picture, it
is possible to choose between two
different map for spark advance.
With the switch in position 1, “soft”
map is selected, more suitable for
slippery terrain and for a softer engine
response.
With the switch in position 2 , “hard”
