1 I Fuel – Petrol/oil mixture

The motorcycle is fitted with a two-stroke internal combustion engine. This type of engine requires a mixture of petrol and oil.

To ensure the correct working of the engine, the following are recommended:

- Use high quality petrol, with an octane rating equal to or above 90 (RON + MON)/2 or 98 (RON).

- Use 2T synthetic oil.

Warning:

- If the recommended oil is not available, use semi-synthetic oil.

- Do not mix different oil-types.

Mixture ratio: oil, 1.5% of petrol volume (50 parts petrol to every

0.75 part oil).

Note: we recommend first preparing the mixture in a suitable container and then filling the fuel tank.

Fuel tank

This has a rapid access cap A and a vent hose B to allow gases produced in the tank to escape.

- To open the cap, lift the clip in the direction shown by the arrow and turn to the left.

Warning! Regularly check the cap seal and vent hose to ensure they are leak proof. Risk of spillage.

Warning: Before starting the engine, check that the gear lever is in neutral (see instructions in the section

Gear lever , page 10)

- Open the fuel tap.

Note:

- If the engine is cold, move choke A upwards, as shown by the arrow, until it clicks into place (vertical). Once the engine is turning over regularly at idle speed, return the choke to the rest position (horizontal).

- Do not use the choke on hot days or when the engine is hot.

In this case, hold the throttle lever partially open until the engine starts.

8 C Running-in period

Care of the engine during the first hours of use is vital for obtaining the best from your motorcycle.

Therefore, we recommend:

- Strictly observe the oil and petrol ratios shown, and use the recommended 2T oil

– see section “Fuel – petrol/oil mixture”, page 9.

- In the first hour of use, keep the engine at a moderate turnover speed (never go to maximum turnover).

- Constantly change the speed, by opening and closing the throttle alternately.

C Transmission oil –

Checking the level

If the motorcycle has been used recently, wait a few minutes before checking the level.

Note: the motorcycle should be perpendicular to the ground.

The level is correct if it falls within the upper half of the transparent window A .

If the level falls below the upper half of the transparent window A the oil should be topped up.

C Clutch system - Bleeding

If the system has been dismounted for repair, or if faults are detected in the clutch system, the air in the hydraulic circuit can be removed using the bleeder A .

Once the air has been removed from the system, replace the rubber cap on the bleeder to prevent dirt from entering the system.

Warning: Do not pour used oil down the drain.

C Coolant system –

Checking/topping up

To reach the radiator cap, proceed as follows:

- Undo the bolts shown by the arrow and remove the fuel tank cover and the rear seat unit.

- Carefully lift and remove the fuel tank.

Warning: If the motorcycle has just been used, wait a few minutes before opening the radiator cap. Risk of burns!

- Turn cap A in an anti-clockwise direction until it is loosened.

- Wait a few seconds, then push the cap downwards, finish the turn in the same direction and remove the cap.

- The level of coolant should be at the lower edge of the filler neck of the radiator, below the position of the cap seal. If this is not the case, top up with coolant.

Warning: Only use coolant suited to light-alloy engines, with antifreeze protection of up to -

30 ºC.

WARRANTY TERMS AND CONDITIONS

(According to Law decree 23/2003 on the 10th of July, covering Warranties on Consumer Item Sales)

Consequently, GG with this document guarantees the consumer (hereafter referred to as the

“purchaser”), in accordance with the conditions set out below, the repair, free of charge, of any defect in materials or that might result from faulty manufacture that is detected in a new motorcycle within the period covered by this Warranty and with no limit on the number of kilometres covered or hours of use.

Warranty Period

The period covered by this Warranty will begin on the day of delivery of the vehicle to the purchaser by a GG authorised dealer, or in the case of demonstration models, on the date in which the vehicle is used for the first time.
