HOW TO RIDE THE MOTORCYCLE
59
NOTE
○
The motorcycle is equipped with a
side stand switch. This switch is de-
signed so that the engine does not
start if the transmission is in gear and
the side stand is down.
○
When the headlight is on high beam,
two headlight beams go on, and on
low beam, one headlight goes on.
Shifting Gears
•
Close the throttle while pulling in the
clutch lever.
•
Shift into the next higher or lower
gear.
WARNING
Downshifting to a lower gear at
high speed causes engine rpm
to increase excessively, poten-
tially damaging the engine and
it may also cause the rear wheel
to skid and cause an accident.
Downshifting should be done
below 5 000 rpm for each gear.
•
Open the throttle halfway, while re-
leasing the clutch lever.
