Automatic transmission
To ensure simple, pleasurable riding, the vehicle is equipped with automatic trans-
mission with regulator and centrifugal clutch. The system is designed to provide the
best performance (acceleration and consumption) while driving on both flat roads and
uphill.
If you have to stop on an uphill slope (traffic lights, traffic jam, etc.) only use the brake
to keep the vehicle still, leaving the motor running at idling speed. Using the
engine to keep the vehicle still can cause the clutch to overheat, due to the
friction of the clutch mechanism itself against the capstan.
It is therefore recommended to avoid conditions of prolonged clutch slippage (other
than those previously indicated) like driving uphill fully laden on steep slopes or starting
off with driver and passenger at slopes greater than 25%.
Take the following precautions if the clutch overheats:
1. Do not continue riding in such conditions.
2. Let the clutch cool down with the engine at idle speed for a few minutes.
