CAUTION
PARK THE MOTORCYCLE ON SAFE AND LEVEL GROUND.

Automatic transmission (03_30)
To make driving as simple and pleasant as possible, the vehicle has an automatic
transmission with speed adjuster and centrifugal clutch. The system has been de-
signed to provide the best performance possible (acceleration and fuel consumption)
whether on the flat or travelling uphill.
If you stop on while travelling uphill (traffic lights, traffic tailback etc.), only use the
brake to keep the vehicle still and let the engine idle. Using the engine to keep
the vehicle still could in fact cause the clutch to overheat because of the rubbing
of the clutch masses on the transmission bell housing. Additionally, avoid ac-
celerating with the parking brake engaged. It is therefore advisable to avoid
prolonged sliding of the clutch, (beyond that which is previously indicated) such as
uphill travel fully laden on steep slopes or starts with the pilot and passenger on slopes
of more than 25%.
Take the following precautions if the clutch overheats:
1. Stop using this way.
2. If necessary, let the clutch cool down with the motor at idling speed for a few minutes.
