Operating Your Motorcycle
This section describes how to safely operate your
motorcycle.
Starting
1. Turn the key switch to the ON position.
2. Verify that the charge indicator reads fully charged.
3. Press the motor stop switch to the ON position.
4. With the kickstand up, twist the throttle toward you
(counter-clockwise) to increase speed. When the
throttle is twisted away from you (clockwise), the speed
decreases.
Braking
On the right handlebar is the hand operated brake lever.
The brake lever controls the front brake when the lever is
squeezed. On the right lower side, next to the foot peg, is
the foot operated brake pedal. This pedal controls the rear
brake.
When braking, the throttle should be in the closed position.
WARNING!
If ABS is disabled or inoperable and you apply
the front or rear brake hard enough, it is possible to lock
the wheels. This could cause you to lose control of the
motorcycle and could lead to serious injury or death.
Progressive use of the brakes should bring the motorcycle
to a complete stop without locking the wheels. Your Zero
Motorcycle is a light- weight performance product and
therefore practice is strongly recommended to perfect safe
emergency stops.
Stopping Your Motorcycle
To stop your motorcycle:
1. With the throttle in the closed position press the motor
stop switch to the OFF position. This switch can also be
used in an emergency to shut the motor off.
2. Turn the key switch to the OFF position and remove the
key. To prevent theft, the key should be removed
anytime the motorcycle is left unattended.
3. Be sure to charge the power pack after each ride.
