WARNING
Do not exceed the load limit of
10 kg (22,05 lb) for the storage
compartment.
Do not exceed the maximum
load of 324 kg (714,42 lb) for

Adjusting the shock
absorber assemblies
1. Shock-absorber pre-tensioned strut
Each shock absorber assembly is
equipped with a spring preload adjus-
ting ring.
ECA10100
CAUTION
Never attempt to turn an adjusting
mechanism beyond the maximum
or minimum settings.
EWA10210
s s
WARNING
Always adjust both shock absorber
assemblies equally, otherwise poor
handling and loss of stability may
result.
Adjust the spring preload as follows.
To increase the spring preload and
thereby harden the suspension, turn
the adjusting ring on each shock
absorber assembly in direction (a). To
decrease the spring preload and the-
reby soften the suspension, turn the
adjusting ring on each shock absor-
ber assembly in direction (b).
NOTE:
Align the appropriate notch in the
adjusting ring with the position indica-
tor on the shock absorber.
EAU15300
Sidestand
The sidestand is located on the left
side of the frame. Raise the sidestand
or lower it with your foot while holding
the motorcycle upright.
NOTE:
The built-in sidestand switch is part of
the ignition circuit cut-off system,
which cuts the ignition in certain
situations. (See further down for an
explanation of the ignition circuit cut-
off system.)
EWA10240

WARNING
The vehicle must not be ridden with
the sidestand down, or if the sides-
tand cannot be properly moved up
(or does not stay up), otherwise the
sidestand could contact the ground

After normal use
Remove dirt with warm water, a mild
detergent, and a soft, clean sponge,
and then rinse thoroughly with clean
water. Use a toothbrush or bottle-
brush for hard-to-reach areas. Stub-
born dirt and insects will come off
more easily if the area is covered with
a wet cloth for a few minutes before
cleaning.
After riding in the rain, near the sea or
on salt-sprayed roads
Since sea salt or salt sprayed on the
roads during winter are extremely
corrosive in combination with water,
carry out the following steps after
each ride in the rain, near the sea or
on salt-sprayed roads.
NOTE:
Salt sprayed on roads in the winter
may remain well into spring.
1. Clean the scooter with cold water
and a mild detergent after the
engine has cooled down.
ECA10790
CAUTION
Do not use warm water since it
increases the corrosive action of
the salt.
2. Apply a corrosion protection
spray on all metal, including
chrome- and nickel-plated, surfa-
ces to prevent corrosion.
After cleaning
1. Dry the scooter with a chamois or
an absorbing cloth.
2. Use a chrome polish to shine
chrome, aluminum and stainless-
steel parts, including the exhaust
system. (Even the thermally indu-
ced discoloring of stainless-steel
exhaust systems can be removed
through polishing.)
3. To prevent corrosion, it is recom-
mended to apply a corrosion pro-
tection spray on all metal, inclu-
ding chrome- and nickel-plated,
surfaces.
4. Use spray oil as a universal clea-
ner to remove any remaining dirt.
5. Touch up minor paint damage
caused by stones, etc.6. Wax all painted surfaces.
7. Let the scooter dry completely
before storing or covering it.
EWA10940

WARNING
Make sure that there is no oil or
wax on the brakes or tires. If
necessary, clean the brake
discs and brake linings with a
regular brake disc cleaner or
acetone, and wash the tires
with warm water and a mild
detergent.
Before operating the scooter
test its braking performance
and cornering behavior.
ECA10800
CAUTION
Apply spray oil and wax spa-
ringly and make sure to wipe
off any excess.
Never apply oil or wax to any
rubber and plastic parts, but
treat them with a suitable care
product.
Avoid using abrasive polishing
compounds as they will wear
away the paint.
