adopted during planning, there may be differences between your
motorcycle and the illustrations and text of this manual.
The original parts that POLINI MOTORI supplies as spare are
built in the same material and have been provided with the same
treatment cycle as your motorcycle's component parts.
This guarantees longer life and ideal performance, and therefore
we strongly recommend that you always insist on POLINI
MOTORI original spare parts.
2. VEHICLE CARRIAGE
To proceed with a correct and safety carriage of the vehicle from
the garaging to the track it is necessary:
- Be sure that the tank is empty in order to avoid petrol dripping;
- Place the kickstand on a horizontal flat on the vehicle you will
use to transport the bike;
- Place the bike on the stand, fix it with belts and ropes being
sure it always stays in vertical position during the carriage.
WARNING! Never transport the bike with the engine full of
petrol or with the muffler or other parts hot.
