General Information
Whenever the side stand is used
before riding, always ensure that the
stand is fully up after first sitting on
the motorcycle.
For instructions on safe parking,
refer to the `How to Ride the
Motorcycle' section.
Tool Kit and Handbook
The tool kit is located in a dedicated
box beneath the seat(s).
Seat Lock
1Seat lock
The seat lock is located on the left
hand side of the battery tray, in line
with the footrest mounting rail. To
remove the seat, insert the ignition
key into the seat lock and turn it
anti-clockwise while pressing down
on the rear of the seat. This will
release the seat from its lock and
allow it to be slid rearwards for
complete removal from the
motorcycle.
To refit the seat, engage the seat's
tongue under the fuel tank and press
down at the rear to engage in the
seat lock.
Running-In
Running-in
is the
name
given to
the
process that occurs during the first
hours of a new vehicle's operation.
In particular, internal friction in the
engine will be higher when
components are new. Later on, when
continued operation of the engine
has ensured that the components
have 'bedded in', this internal
friction will be greatly reduced.
A period of careful running in will
ensure lower exhaust emissions, and
will optimise performance, fuel
economy and longevity of the engine
and other motorcycle components.

Warning
To prevent detachment of the seat
during riding, after fitting always
grasp the seat and pull firmly
upwards. If the seat is not
correctly secured in the lock it will
detach from the lock. A loose or
detached seat could cause loss of
motorcycle control and an
accident.
