•
Grip the two connectors and disconnect them by pulling them in opposite directions.
•
If any signs of dirt, rust, moisture, etc. are noted, clean the inside of the connector carefully
with a jet of compressed air.
•
Ensure that the cables are correctly fastened to the internal connector terminals.
•
Then connect the two connectors, ensuring that they couple correctly (if fitted with clips, you
will hear them "click" into place).

NOTE
THE TWO CONNECTORS CAN ONLY BE CONNECTED IN ONE DIRECTION: CONNECT THEM

TIGHTENING TORQUES
CAUTION
IF UNSCREWING A SELF-LOCKING NUT, IT MUST BE REPLACED WITH A NEW ONE.
CAUTION
REMEMBER THAT THE TIGHTENING TORQUE FOR ALL THE FIXING ELEMENTS LOCATED ON
WHEELS, BRAKES, WHEEL AXLES AND OTHER SUSPENSION COMPONENTS PLAY A FUN-
DAMENTAL ROLE IN GUARANTEEING THE SAFETY OF THE VEHICLE AND MUST BE KEPT AT
THE PRESCRIBED VALUES. REGULARLY CHECK THE TIGHTENING TORQUE OF THE FIXING
ELEMENTS AND ALWAYS USE A TORQUE WRENCH WHEN REFITTING. IF THESE WARNINGS
ARE NOT OBSERVED, ONE OF THESE COMPONENTS COULD LOOSEN AND COME OFF,
BLOCKING A WHEEL OR CAUSING OTHER PROBLEMS THAT WOULD COMPROMISE MA-
NOEUVRABILITY, LEADING TO A CRASH WITH THE RISK OF SERIOUS INJURY OR EVEN
DEATH.
Running-in
Running the engine in correctly is essential for ensuring engine longevity and functionality. Twisty roads
and gradients are ideal for running in the engine, brakes and suspension effectively. Vary your riding
speed during the running in period. This ensures that components operate in "loaded" conditions and
then "unloaded" conditions, allowing the engine components to cool.
CAUTION
THE FULL PERFORMANCE OF THE VEHICLE IS ONLY AVAILABLE AFTER THE SERVICE AT
THE END OF THE RUNNING IN PERIOD.
Follow these guidelines:
•
Do not fully open the throttle grip abruptly at low engine speeds, either during or after the
running in period.
•
During the first 100 Km (62.14 miles) use the brakes gently, avoiding sudden or prolonged
braking. That is to permit the adequate adjustment of the pad friction material to the brake
discs.
•
It is recommended that during the first 250 km (155.34 mi) not to exceed 6500 rpm and not
to fully open the gas knob for prolonged periods. For the subsequent km, up to approximately
1000 km (621.37 mi), progressively increase rpm and "full gas" periods.
CAUTION
TO PREVENT THE RISK OF INJURY TO YOURSELF OR OTHERS AND/OR DAMAGE TO THE
VEHICLE, HAVE THE CHECKS LISTED IN THE SCHEDULED MAINTENANCE TABLE OF THE
