If the vehicle remains unused for
more than 20 days, disconnect
the 20A fuse, in order to avoid the bat-
tery deterioration resulting from the
current consumption due to the multi-
function computer.
After a long period of inactivity of the vehi-
cle some precautions are necessary to
avoid any problem.
Further, it is important to carry out the nec-

seconds, to distribute the oil evenly on
the cylinder surfaces.
Put back the spark plug.
