[. . . ] Turning the adjuster screw counterclockwise, the lever (1) comes closer to the handle (2). The clearance of the clutch lever (1) can be adjusted using the adjuster screw (3). Turn the adjuster screw (3) in a clockwise or counterclockwise direction as required to obtain the correct clearance at the clutch lever (1) and control driving functionality using the handle (2) as in the driving position. Engine running-in is essential to preserving engine life and performance over time. Twisty roads and gradients are ideal to run in the engine, brakes and suspensions effectively. In this way, you allow for the work of components to be "loaded" and then "unloaded", thus cooling the engine parts. Do not accelerate suddenly and completely when the engine is running in a low gear, either before or after running-in. During the first 62 mi (100 km) use the brakes carefully, and avoid sudden and prolonged braking. this permits an adequate settling of the pad friction material on the disc brakes. It is advisable to not exceed 7500 rpm for the first 621 mi (1000 km) and then not to exceed 9500 rpm up until 1243 mi (2000 km). Starting the engine (03_16, 03_17, 03_18, 03_19, 03_20) This vehicle is extremely powerful and must be used carefully and driven with caution and respect for its power and potential capacity.

Slowly release the clutch (3) while accelerating by turning the throttle grip (2) moderately (Pos. For the first few miles of driving, proceed at a limited speed to let the engine warm up. When going downhill and when braking, to increase braking power by using the engine's compression. When going uphill, when the gear being used is not adequate to the speed (high gear, moderate speed) and the RPM decreases. A) If necessary, lightly use the brake levers and slow the vehicle's speed. Engage the clutch (3) and press the gear shift foot pedal (4) to select a lower gear.
