OPERATION AND IMPORTANT RIDING POINTS

EAU16791
Braking 1. Close the throttle completely.
2. Apply both front and rear brakes
simultaneously while gradually in-
creasing the pressure.
WARNING
EWA10300


Avoid braking hard or suddenly
(especially when leaning over to
one side), otherwise the scooter
may skid or overturn.


Railroad crossings, streetcar
rails, iron plates on road con-
struction sites, and manhole
covers become extremely slip-
pery when wet. Therefore, slowdown when approaching such
areas and cross them with cau-
tion.


Keep in mind that braking on a
wet road is much more difficult.


Ride slowly down a hill, as brak-
ing downhill can be very diffi-cult.
EAU16820
Tips for reducing fuel
consumption Fuel consumption depends largely on
your riding style. Consider the following
tips to reduce fuel consumption:

Avoid high engine speeds during
acceleration.


Avoid high engine speeds with no
load on the engine.


Turn the engine off instead of let-
ting it idle for an extended length of
time (e.g., in traffic jams, at traffic
lights or at railroad crossings).
