2.1. Safety
Do not use the motorcycle, nor try to service it,
if you do not possess the necessary skills.
Full control of the motorcycle is fundamental to
safe riding. Concentration and a perfect physical

sonnel carry out, the checks listed in the Table of
scheduled maintenance (§6.1.).
Some parts of the vehicle become very hot
during use. Avoid contact with these parts and
keep the motorcycle out of the reach of children.
Do not make any modifications or install any
accessories that could adversely affect the stabil-
ity or shorten the life of the motorcycle.
Always park the motorcycle safely and avoid
leaving it unattended while the ignition key is in

roads. Brake pads to be used mainly on wet roads

tion, please apply to an authorized service cen-
ter).
