Slowly release the clutch lever (3) and at
the same time accelerate by rotating the
throttle grip moderately (2) (Pos. B).
The vehicle will start moving.
Never exceed the recommended

u
Increase the speed by gradually rotating
the throttle grip (2) (Pos. B), without

top up mixer oil, see page 29 (2
STROKE OIL TANK).
The downshifting should be carried out in
the following situations:
u
When riding downhill or when braking, in
order to increase the braking action by
using the compression of the engine.
u
When riding uphill, if the gear engaged is
not suitable to the speed (high gear,
moderate speed) and the engine rpm
decreases.
Shift the gears one by one; the
simultaneous downshifting of
more than one gear may make
you exceed the maximum rpm (red line).
Before and during the downshifting,
release the throttle grip and decelerate,
in order to avoid the "red line".
To shift down, proceed as follows:
u
Release the throttle grip (2) (Pos. A).
u
If necessary, pull the brake levers
moderately and decrease the speed of
the vehicle.
u
Pull the clutch lever (3) and lower the
shifting lever (4) to shift down.
u
If the brake levers are pulled, release
them.
u
