The front disc, and rear drum brakes, were operated pedal-cycle style by handle-bar levers and the machine also had oil pump reservoir lubrication, thus avoiding the need to pre-mix two-stroke engine oil. Electrics were 12 volt and it had both electric and primary-kick start and an automatic choke.
Other aspects included a dual seat, with locking under-seat storage, a storage pocket on the inside of the front fairing and a centre stand. A handlebar mounted binnacle forming part of the front upper bodywork contained basic instrumentation.
