Safety Guidelines
Follow these guidelines to enhance your safety when riding your SINNIS motorcycle:
-Perform all routine and regular inspections specified in this manual.
-Stop the engine and keep any sources of ignition away when filling the fuel tank.
-Do not run the engine in an enclosed or partly enclosed areas. Carbon monoxide in exhaust gases is toxic and can kill
you.
Always wear a Helmet
It is a proven fact that helmets and protective apparel significantly reduce the number and severity of head and
other injuries. So always wear an approved motorcycle helmet and protective apparel.
Before Riding
Make sure that you are physically fit, mentally focused and free of alcohol and drugs. Check that you and your
passenger are both wearing an approved motorcycle helmet and protective apparel. Instruct your passenger on
holding onto the grab rail or your waist, leaning with you into turns and keeping their feet on the foot-pegs even
when the motorcycle is stopped.
Take Time to Learn & Practise
Even if you have ridden other motorcycles, practise riding in a safe area to become familiar with how your SINNIS
motorcycle works, handles and to become accustomed to the size and weight.

TERRAIN 125 (MY21 EURO5)
Ride Defensively
Always pay attention to other vehicles around you and do not assume that other drivers see you. Be prepared to
stop quickly or perform an evasive manoeuvre.
Make Yourself Easy to See
Make yourself more visible, especially at night, by wearing bright reflective clothing, positioning yourself so other
road others can see you, signalling before turning or changing lanes and using your horn to alert other road users
when necessary.
Ride within Your Limits
Never ride beyond your personal abilities or faster than conditions warrant. Fatigue and inattention can impair
your ability to use good judgement and ride safely.
Don’t Drink and Ride
Alcohol and riding do not mix. Even one alcoholic drink can reduce your ability to respond to changing conditions
and your reaction time gets worse with every additional drink. Do not drink and ride, don’t let your friends drink
and ride either.

Keep Your SINNIS in Safe Condition
It’s important to keep your motorcycle properly maintained and in safe riding condition. Inspect your motorcycle
before every ride and perform all recommended maintenance, never exceed load limits and do not modify your
motorcycle or install accessories that would make your motorcycle unsafe.
If you are Involved in a Crash
Personal safety is your first priority. If you or anyone else has been injured, take time to assess the severity of the
injuries and whether it is safe to continue riding. Call or emergency assistance if needed. Also follow applicable
laws and regulation if another person or vehicle is involved in the crash.
If you decide to continue riding, first turn off the ignition lock and evaluate the condition of your SINNIS
motorcycle. Inspect for fluid leaks, check the tightness of critical component fastenings, check the handlebar and
foot controls, and check the brakes and wheels. Ride slowly and cautiously. Your motorcycle may have suffered
damage that is not immediately apparent. Have your SINNIS motorcycle thoroughly check at a qualified service
facility as soon as possible.
Carbon Monoxide
If you run the engine in confined or even partly enclosed areas, the air you breathe could contain a dangerous
amount of carbon monoxide which can cause loss of consciousness.

Running in Your New SINNIS Motorcycle
After purchasing a new motorcycle there is a ‘running in’ period for the engine. It is vitally important that the
motorcycle is successfully managed through this running in period as it will have a direct impact on the service
life motorcycle.
It is recommended that for the first 1000km/600miles the engine RPM should not exceed 6500RPM in all gears.
Care should also be taken to:
1. Avoid aggressive throttle usage, both in starting and riding conditions.
2. Avoid hard braking and rapid down-shifting of the gears.
3. Ride conservatively.
Upon completion of the motorcycles first 1000km/600miles it should be taken to your nearest SINNIS dealer for
servicing as per the Maintenance and Service schedule.

TERRAIN 125 (MY21 EURO5)
Brakes
Observe the following guidelines:
-Avoid excessively hard braking and downshifting.
-Sudden braking can reduce the motorcycle’s stability.
-Where possible, reduce speed before turning; otherwise, you risk sliding out.
-Exercise caution on low traction surfaces.
-Tyres can slip more easily, and braking distances are greatly increased.
-Avoid continuous braking.
-Repeated braking, such as when descending long, steep slopes can seriously overheat the brakes, reducing
their effectiveness. Use engine braking with intermittent use of the brakes to reduce speed.
-
-For full braking effectiveness, operate both the front and rear brakes together.
Combi Brake
Your SINNIS motorcycle is equipped with a braking system that distributes the braking force between the front
and rear brakes. The distribution of the braking force applied to the front and rear brakes when operating the
leaver only and the pedal only is different.
https://www.motomanuals.net/

14
TERRAIN 125 (MY21 EURO5)
Engine Braking
Engine braking helps slow your motorcycle down when you release the throttle. For further slowing action,
downshift to a lower gear. Use engine braking with intermittent use of the brakes to reduce speed when
descending long steep slopes.
Guide for Safe Riding
Ascending and Descending Slopes
When riding up and down steep slopes, select the appropriate gear:
-For riding up steep slopes, use lower gears to make best use of the engine torque and avoid stalling the engine.
-For riding down steep slopes, use higher gears to avoid excessive engine RPM in the lower gears and maintain
control over your descent.

TERRAIN 125 (MY21 EURO5)
Riding in Wet Weather Conditions
In wet or foggy weather, there will be low visibility and poor adhesion between the tyres and the road. Check tires
for wear and check there is sufficient tread for optimum grip. When riding into low visibility or on slippery roads,
keep to a safe speed and do not accelerate, brake or turn suddenly.
Riding in Snow/Icy Conditions
It is generally not recommended to ride in icy or snowy weather conditions. Should you be in a position where it is
necessary to ride in such conditions, do not accelerate, brake or turn suddenly. Try to use the available gears to
slow down (often referred to as ‘engine braking’) where possible, with no sudden braking. Steer slowly and plan-
ahead by slowing down in advance of approaching bends, junctions or hazards.
Braking Distances
The faster the speed of travel, the longer the braking distance required to stop the motorcycle.
This is doubled on wet roads. It is advisable to reduce your speed on wet roads or in poor visibility because of
this. When braking, use the rear brake followed by the front brake to control your speed.

Parking
-Try to park on a firm level surface.
-If you must park on a slight incline or loose surface, park so that your SINNIS motorcycle cannot move or fall
over.
-Make sure that high-temperature part cannot come into contact with flammable materials.
-Do not touch the engine, exhaust, brakes and other high-temperature parts until they cool down.
-To reduce the likelihood of theft, always lock the handlebar and remove the key when leaving the motorcycle
unattended. Use of anti-theft security devices is high recommended.
Parking on the Side Stand
1. Stop the Engine
2. Push the side stand down into its final stop position.
3. Slowly lean the motorcycle onto the side stand until the weight of the motorcycle rests on the side stand.
4. Ensure the side stand is on a firm surface and does not begin to sink when the motorcycle weight is applied.
5. Turn the handlebar full to the left.
-Turning the handlebar to the right reduces stability and may cause the motorcycle to fall.
6. Turn the ignition switch to the lock position and remove the key.
Parking on the Centre Stand
To lower the centre stand, stand on the left side of your SINNIS motorcycle. Hold the left handlebar grip and the
grab rail. Press down on the top of the centre stand with your right root and simultaneously pull back and up.

Refuelling & Fuel Guidelines
When refuelling your SINNIS motorcycle, use Unleaded fuel with a minimum octane rating of 92.
Fuel Tank Maximum Capacity: 14 Litres / 3.07 Imperial Gallons
Refuelling
1. Turn off the engine when refuelling, then turn the ignition switch to the OFF position.
2. Open the fuel cap lock cover and insert the ignition key. Turn clockwise to unlock.
3. Refuel only until the fuel level reaches the bottom of the filler opening. Overfilling will cause fuel to leak from the cap.
4. After refuelling, push the cap into the filler neck until it snaps closed and locks.
5. Remove the ignition key and close the lock cover.
-The ignition key cannot be removed if the cap is not locked.
CAUTION
Do not wash filler cap area with high pressure water, as water can potentially enter the tank.

Accessories & Modifications
We strongly advise that you do not add any accessories that were not specifically designed or approved for your
motorcycle by SINNIS or make modifications to your motorcycle from its original design. Doing so can make it
unsafe. Modifying your SINNIS motorcycle may also void your warranty and make your motorcycle illegal to
operate on public roads and highways. Before deciding to install accessories on your SINNIS motorcycle be
certain the modification is safe and legal.
Loading
Carrying extra weight affects your SINNIS motorcycle’s handling, braking and stability. Always ride at a safe
speed for the load you are carrying.
Avoid carrying an excessive load and keep within specified load limits.
Tie down all luggage securely, evenly balanced, and close to the centre of the motorcycle.
Do not place objects near the lights or the exhaust.
