116 HOW TO RIDE THE MOTORCYCLE
A
A. Shift Pedal
ÿ Open the throttle part way, while
releasing the clutch lever.
WARNING
Downshifting to a lower gear at high
speed causes engine rpm to increase
excessively, potentially damaging the
engine and it may also cause the rear
wheel to skid and cause an accident.
Down-shifting should be done below
5 000 rpm for each gear.
NOTE
æ The transmission is equipped
with a positive neutral nder.
When the motorcycle is standing
still, the transmission cannot
be shifted past neutral from 1st
gear. To use the positive neutral
nder, shift down to 1st gear, then lift
up on the shift pedal while standing
still. The transmission will shift only
into neutral.
