Stopping and parking

Apply the brakes fully and put the engine into neutral. To stop the engine,

switch off the ignition. Fold the side stand forward to the stop with your foot,

put the weight of the motorcycle on the stand and park the bike on a firm sur-

face. Lock the motorcycle.

– ALWAYS PARK YOUR MOTORBIKE ON A SOLID AND HORIZONTAL

SURFACE.

– NEVER LEAVE YOUR MOTORCYCLE WITHOUT SUPERVISION AS LONG AS THE

ENGINE IS RUNNING.

– MOTORCYCLE ENGINES PRODUCE A GREAT AMOUNT OF HEAT WHILE RUN-

NING. THE ENGINE RADIATORS, EXHAUST, EXHAUST SYSTEM, BRAKE DISCS,

AND SHOCK ABSORBERS CAN BECOME VERY HOT. DO NOT TOUCH ANY OF

THESE PARTS AFTER OPERATING THE MOTORCYCLE, AND TAKE CARE TO PARK

IT WHERE PEDESTRIANS ARE NOT LIKELY TO TOUCH IT AND GET BURNED

– NEVER PARK YOUR MOTORCYCLE IN PLACES WHERE THERE EXIST FIRE HAZ-

ARDS DUE TO DRY GRASS OR OTHER EASILY FLAMMABLE MATERIALS.

– ALWAYS TAKE OUT THE IGNITION KEY WHEN PARKING YOUR MOTORCYCLE

SO THAT IT CANNOT BE USED BY UNAUTHORIZED PERSONS.

– THE SIDE STAND IS DIMENSIONED FOR THE WEIGHT OF THE MOTORCYCLE

ONLY. SITTING ON THE MOTORCYCLE WILL INCREASE THE WEIGHT ON THE

SIDE STAND. THE SIDE STAND OR ENGINE CASE CAN BE DAMAGED AND THE

MOTORCYCLE CAN TIP OVER.

Fuel

In the condition at delivery, the LC8 engine requires unleaded fuel with at

least RON 95 (USA = Premium RON 91).

THIS MOTORCYCLE IS EQUIPPED WITH A CATALYTIC CONVERTER THAT WILL BE

DESTROYED IF YOU USE LEADED FUEL. ALWAYS USE UNLEADED FUEL.

Fuel expands when its temperature rises. Therefore do not fill the tank to the

top (see fig.).

GASOLINE IS HIGHLY FLAMMABLE AND POISONOUS. EXTREME CAUTION SHOULD

BE USED WHEN HANDLING GASOLINE. DO NOT REFUEL THE MOTORCYCLE NEAR

OPEN FLAMES OR BURNING CIGARETTES. ALWAYS SWITCH OFF THE ENGINE

BEFORE REFUELLING. BE CAREFUL NOT TO SPILL GASOLINE ON THE ENGINE OR

EXHAUST PIPE WHILE THE ENGINE IS HOT. WIPE UP SPILLS PROMPTLY. IF GASO-

LINE IS SWALLOWED OR SPLASHED IN THE EYES, SEEK A DOCTOR’S ADVICE

IMMEDIATELY.
