OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
•The vehicle must be accompanied by: number-plate, registration document, tax
disc and insurance.
•Do not carry animals, pets or loose objects that can stick out from the vehicle.
•Riding without a crash helmet is forbidden.
•Always ride with the low beam on.
•Any modifications of the engine or other parts resulting in a power and/or speed
increase are punishable by severe sanctions including the confiscation of the vehicle.
•To protect your safety and that of others, always drive carefully and with your helmet
on.
WARNING
Any modifications and tampering with the vehicle during the warranty period exempt
the manufacturer from all responsibility and invalidate warranty.
ECOLOGIC GUIDE
•Every vehicle powered by an internal combustion engine produces an amount of
noise (noise pollution) and gases (air pollution) which varies with the riding style.
•The abatement of noise and air pollution levels is the duty of everybody. Avoid
full-throttle starts, sudden acceleration and abrupt braking. This will reduce noise
emission as well as the wear and tear of the tyres and mechanical parts, and will
also allow a considerable reduction in fuel consumption.

GB
RIDING SAFETY
•Observe the Highway Code.
•Always put on and fasten a homologated helmet.
•Always ride with the low beam on.
•Always keep the crash helmet visor clean.
•Avoid wearing garments with hanging ends.
•Do not keep sharp or brittle objects in your pockets while riding.
•Properly adjust the rearview mirrors.
•Always ride in a seated position, with both hands on the handlebars and both feet
on the footrests.
•Always pay attention and do not allow anything to distract you while riding.
•Do not eat, drink, smoke, use a mobile phone, etc. while riding.
•Do not wear headphones to listen to music while riding.

•Avoid swaying and wheelies as they are extremely dangerous for your own and
other people’s safety as well as for your vehicle.
•Always apply both brakes on dry roads with no gravel and sand. Using one brake
may be dangerous and cause uncontrolled skidding.
•To reduce the braking distance, always apply both brakes.
•On wet roads and in off-road riding, drive with care and at moderate speed. Take
special care in applying the brakes.
•Do not start the engine in closed places.

LOAD
•To avoid to let the vehicle be unstable, do not carry bulky or heavy objects.
•Do not carry objects that stick from the vehicle or cover the lighting and signalling
devices.
TYRES
•Only fit tyres approved by BETAMOTOR.
Unsuitable tyres can adversely affect the
road holding of the vehicle.
•To protect your safety, immediately re-
place any damaged tyres.
•Slick tyres adversely affect the road
holding of the vehicle, especially on wet
roads and in off-road riding.
•Insufficient pressure results in abnormal
wear and overheating of the tyres.
•The front and rear tyres must have the
same tread design.

Note
The type, condition and pressure of the tyres affect the road holding of the vehicle.
For this reason it is essential to check them before each journey.
•The size of the tyres is shown in the technical specifications and in the vehicle
handbook.
•Check the condition of the tyres before each journey. Inspect the tyres for cuts and
for nails or other pointed objects sticking out of them. Regarding the minimum al-
lowable thickness of the tread, observe the regulations in force in your country. We
recommend replacing the tyres at the latest when the tread is 2 mm thick.
•Check the inflating pressure on a regular basis while the tyres are cold. Proper
pressure ensures optimum riding comfort and prolongs the life of the tyres.
STEERING LOCK
The vehicle is supplied with one key and
a spare to be used for the steering lock.
WARNING:
Do not keep the spare keys in the vehicle.
Keep the keys in a safe and easy-to-reach
place. The code number stamped on the
keys should be copied on this manual (or
elsewhere) so it can be used to ask for
duplicates should both keys be lost.
To engage the steering lock, fully turn the
handlebars to the left, insert the key, press
and turn it fully anticlockwise and then
release it.
