whether this is allowed.
We cannot be held liable for any conse-
quential damage caused by accessories
not approved by the factory.
The scope of delivery and version of the mo-
torbike is solely determined by the purchase
agreement concluded with the dealer.
This operating manual includes important
instructions for handling your light motor-
cycle. Read it carefully, because professi-
onal handling combined with regular care
and maintenance helps to maintain the
motorbikes value and is one of the require-

spe cial ized SFM dealer to do so. This will
provide you with the cer tain ty that your mo-
torcycle cor re sponds to traf c regulations.
A technically fault less motorcycle is a basic
re quire ment for the safety of both yourself
and other road users.
Before starting your ride, check the fol-
low ing:

SAFETY TEST
Checking the oil level

CAUTION
Checking the oil while the engine is cold
will lead to a wrong measurement and
therefore the wrong oil quan ti ty. In order
to avoid engine damage, never ex ceed
the maximum oil level nor let it drop
below the minimum level.
- Stop the warmed-up engine, wait for ap-
prox. 5 minutes and hold the motorcycle
upright.

NOTE
The oil pressure light is not a oil level indi-
cator. Frequently check the engine-oil level
best during a tank stop.
Engine oil pressure
The instrument light (1) is active when
the ignition is turned on.
The light must disappear after the engine
has been started.
Check the oil level if the instrument light
not disappears or ashes during driving. If
required, replenish the engine oil.
Do not ride if the light appears even though
the oil level is OK. Don't run the engine
even with idling speed. Im me di ate ly consult
a dealer.

NOTE
Make sure that the motorcycle during oil-
level checks stands level in all respects.
Even the slightest inclination towards the
side will produce measurement errors.
- With the engine stopped, read off the oil
level from the sight glass (2) on the lower
right of the crankcase.
- The oil level must be between the mini-
mum and maximum marks.
If required, replenish the engine oil SAE
20W/50 via the oil-ller opening of the oil
ller cap (3).

CAUTION
Do not use additives. Since the oil also
serves to lubricate the clutch, do not use
car engine oils sup ple ment ed with fric-
tion modiers (such energy-con serv ing
oils can lead to the clutch slip ping). Use
a suitable, light engine oil for motor-
cycles, such as SAE 20W/50 mineral oil
API (SG or higher).
- If required, replenish the engine oil (for
classication and viscosity, see the table)
via the oil-ller opening up to the maxi-
mum level marking using a funnel.
Recommended grade:
Per API: SG or higher or also with ad di tion al
release status: ACEA A3/96 (CCMC G5).

may exceed or fall short of the lim its of the
SAE grades.
The rec om mend ed viscosity grade SAE
20W/50 covers the ambient tem per a ture
range 5 C to +50 C and there fore rep-
re sents the optimum for our lat i tudes.

SFM cannot judge for each third-part prod-
uct whether it can be safely used in combi-
nation with your SFM mo tor cy cle. Nor can
a of cial approval give such a guar an tee in
all cases, since the test scope is not always
sufcient.

NOTE
SFM accessories and SFM-ap proved prod-

RIDING INSTRUCTIONS
Ride safely

CAUTION
Riding safety is largely also de ter mined
by the manner of riding.
Therefore:
- Put on a tested/approved safety hel met
and correct close the buckle.
- Wear suitable protective clothes.
- Rest your feet on the footrests.
- Do not ride if your riding ability has been
compromised.
On smooth, slippery roads take into ac count
that your riding stability and brak ing power
are limited by the grip of the tyres on the
road top.
Your reactions can be adversely af fect ed
not only by alcohol, but also by drugs and
medicines.
- Strictly observe all trafc reg u la tions.
- Always adapt your riding speed to the
trafc and road conditions.
23
RIDING INSTRUCTIONS
Ride economically and be aware of the environment
Fuel consumption, environmental pol lu tion
and wear of engine, brakes and tyres de-
pend on various factors.
Your personal riding style is highly de ter -
mi nant for economical fuel con sump tion
and exhaust gas and noise gen er a tion.
While idling, the engine takes a long time
to warm up to operational tem per a ture. In
the warm-up phase, however, the wear level
and pollutant emissions are very high. It is
therefore best to start riding immediately
after start-up.
Avoid rapid acceleration
Open the throttle not further than need ed,
in order to reduce fuel con sump tion as well
as pollution and wear levels.
Do not use excessive revs; change up as
soon as possible and do not change down
until it is necessary to do so.
Ride as evenly as possible and look
ahead as far as possible.
Unnecessary acceleration and hard braking
cause high fuel con sump tion and increased
pollution levels.
Turn the engine off when waiting in
traf c.
Different riding conditions affect fuel con-
sumption. The following conditions are
unfavourable for fuel consumption:
- High trafc density, especially in big cities
with many stops for trafc lights.
- Frequent short rides with repeated starts
and warm-ups of the engine.
- Riding in a column of motor cycles at low
speed, meaning riding with rel a tive ly high
revs.
Plan rides ahead of time in order to avoid
heavy trafc.
Fuel consumption is also affected by
conditions that are out of your control, for
instance, poor road condition, hills, riding
in winter.
Observe the following aspects for eco-
nom i cal fuel consumption:
- The planned inspection intervals must be
closely observed.
- Regular service by a specialized SFM
dealer will guarantee not only continued
operability, but also eco nom i cal fuel
consumption, low en vi ron men tal pollution
and a long lifespan.
- Check the tyre pressure every two
weeks.
Low tyre pressure increases rolling re sis -
tance. This increases fuel con sump tion
and tyre wear and adversely af fects riding
behaviour.
- Continually check fuel consumption.
- Frequently check the engine-oil level.

RIDING INSTRUCTIONS
Running-in
Running-in instructions for engine
and transmission

CAUTION
Excessive revs while running-in the en-
gine increases the wear of the en gine.
Engine faults during the run ning-in
period must be im me di ate ly re port ed to
a specialized SFM dealer.

NOTE
During the running-in period, ride in fre-
quently changing load and rpm ranges.
Select winding and slightly hilly routes.
Avoid constantly low rpm counts and full
throt tle under load.
Running-in new tyres

CAUTION
New tyres have a smooth surface. They
must therefore be roughened by care-
fully running them in at various slanted
positions.
Only then will the surface obtain its full
grip!
Running-in new brake linings

WARNING
New brake linings must be run-in and
will not have their full friction power until
after 500 km.
The slightly re duced braking effect can
be com pen sat ed for by an in crease in
the pres sure on the brake lever.
During this period, avoid un nec es sary
hard braking actions!
- During the rst 800 km:
Less than 1/2 throttle.
- Up to 1.600 km:
Less than 3/4 throttle.

CAUTION
The rst inspection must be carried out
immediately after the rst 1.000 km.
You can save yourself delays by mak ing an
appointment with a spe cial ized SFM dealer
in advance.
- 800 to 1.600 km:
Slowly increase the revs. Up to 1.600 km,
avoid longer rides under full load.

RIDING INSTRUCTIONS
Braking
Oil and grease

WARNING
The brake discs and linings must be free
of oil and grease!
If the motorcycle is not used for a while,
a rust lm may form on the brakes and
thus increase the braking effect. A thick
rust lm can cause the brakes to lock
up. When setting out on a ride after a
long lay-up period, carefully operate
the brakes several times until they work
normally.

NOTE
Make sure you practice braking for emer-
gen cy situations, but do so where you will
not pose a risk to yourself or others (e.g. a
deserted parking area).

WARNING
Operate the brakes to grind off the salt
deposited on the brake discs.
Dirty brakes
When riding on dirty streets, the brak ing
effect can be delayed due to dirty brake
discs and linings.

WARNING
Operate the brakes until they are
clean. Lining wear is increased by dirty
brakes!
Wet brakes
Washing the motorcycle or riding through
water or rain can delay the brak ing effect
due to wet or (in winter) ice-covered brake
discs and linings.

WARNING
The brakes must rst be operated until
they are dry
Salt lm on the brakes
When riding on salted streets without brak-
ing for a while, the full braking ef fect may
be delayed.

RIDING INSTRUCTIONS
Braking
Braking
The front brake and rear brake are op er at ed
independently from each other.
The front brake is operated via the hand-
brake lever (1) on the han dle bars, and the
rear brake is operated by step ping on the
footbrake lever (2) with the right foot.
When stopping or slowing down, re lease
the throttle gas and operate both brakes
at the same time.
On tight curves, sandy / dirty streets, wet
asphalt and icy roads, use the front brake
carefully: if the front wheel locks, the bike
will slide sideways.
Brake with care. Locked wheels do not have
much braking effect and can lead to skid-
ding / crashing. In prin ci ple, do not brake
on a curve, but before the curve.
Braking on a curve increases the dan ger
of sliding.

SERVICE INSTRUCTIONS
Operation in winter and anti-corrosion protection

NOTE
Protect the environment by using only en-
vironmentally friendly preservation agents,
and use them frugally.
Operation in winter and anti-
corrosion protection
Use of the motorcycle in the winter can
cause considerable damage due to the
presence of salt on the roads.

CAUTION
Do not use hot water, which would in-
crease the effect of the salt.
- At the end of each ride, wash the motor-
cycle with cold water.
- Thoroughly dry the motorcycle.
- Treat parts liable to corrosion with wax-
borne anti-corrosion agents.
35
Repairing paint damage
Minor paint damage should be im me di ate ly
repaired. Major damage must be repaired
by a SFM deal er.
If the motorcycle is not used for a long er
period, it is recommended to support the
motorcycle so that its weight is not on the
tyres.
You can prevent the tyres from be com ing
dry and brittle by spraying them with a
silicone-rubber treatment. First thor ough ly
clean the tyres.
Do not store the motorcycle or the tyres
in hot spaces (such as a boiler room) for

Battery

WARNING
Always wear safety glasses.
Keep children away from acids and
bat ter ies.

EXPLOSION DANGER
A battery being charged produces a
highly explosive gas, which is why re,
sparks, naked ames and smoking are
prohibited.

FIRE HAZARD
Avoid generating sparks and elec tro stat ic
discharges when handling ca bles and
electrical devices.
Avoid short cir cuits.

DANGER - CAUSTIC ACTION
Battery acid is highly caustic, so al ways
wear safety gloves and glass es.
Do not tilt the battery as acid can leak
from the ventilation open ings.

FIRST AID
If acid comes into contact with an eye, im-
mediately ush the eye for several minutes
with fresh water. Then im me di ate ly visit /

light. Discharged batteries can freeze, so
they must be stored in a place where the
temperature remains above 5 - 15C.
Professional main te nance, charging and
storage will in crease the lifespan of the
battery and are a condition for the hon-
ouring of guarantee claims.

DISPOSAL
Take a dead battery to a collection point.
Never dispose of one with household
refuse.

WARRANTY
Warranty conditions
In case of an occurring fault the company
SFM GmbH will provide the customer with
the following performances through the
authorized SFM-dealer (seller) within the
scope of its statutory warranty obligations:
1. Within a period of 24 months after the de-
livery of the scooter to the end customer
the company SFM GmbH will rectify
any deciencies caused by material or
man u fac tur ing faults through the autho-
rized SFM-dealer (seller) by repairing or
replacing the affected part ac cord ing to
the statutory warranty reg u la tions. SFM
GmbH may deny the re quest ed repair
or replacement of the faulty part if this
would only be pos si ble with dispropor-
tionately high costs. In this case SFM
GmbH may rec ti fy the deciency through
the au tho rized SFM-dealer (seller)
by ap ply ing the other possible type of
sub se quent fulllment. If both types of
sub se quent fulllment are only possible
with unproportionately high costs, SFM
GmbH may deny the sub se quent fulll-
ment all together through the authorized
SFM-deal er (seller). The customer is
then entitled to legal claims. Replaced
parts pass over into the possession of
SFM GmbH.
2. The installation of spare parts within the
scope of warranty does not extend the
warranty period that has started with the
date of delivery of the motorcycle.
3. The warranty does not cover normal
wear and tear caused by normal use as
well as wear and tear caused by inap-
propriate handling and inappropriate
use. Oxidation and corrosion are caused
by environmental inuences and are also
not covered under warranty
4. Warranty claims lodged by the customer
will be rejected in case of: Manipulations
to the motorcycle, installation of a dif-
ferent exhaust system, changes to the
gearbox or secondary transmission ratio
and installation of accessories or spare
parts which have not been approved by
SFM. Repairs carried out in workshops
not authorized by SFM GmbH and the
non-compliance with the maintenance
intervals in the workshop of an autho-
rized SFM-dealer will also cause the
rejection of warranty claims.
5. When lodging a warranty claim the cus-
tomer must present the correctly lled in
service book to the seller.
