1. After the engine has been warmed up,
the vehicle is ready for riding.
2. While the engine is idling, depress the
gearshift pedal to shift into 1st (low)
gear.
3. Gradually increase engine speed by
opening the throttle.
4. When the vehicle attains a mode-rate
speed, close the throttle and shift to 2nd
gear by depressing the gearshift pedal.
This sequence is repeated to progre-
ssively shift to 3rd, 4th (top) gear.
5. Coordinate the throttle and brakes for
smooth deceleration.
6. Both front and rear brakes should be
used at the same time and should not be
applied strongly enough to lock the
wheel, or braking effectiveness will be
reduced and control of the vehicle be
difficult.
<GEAR SHIFTING>
Operating method of the gear is different
between stopping and driving.
●Drectly gear changing from top gear
position to neutral is possible when
stopping.
●When driving, gear changing is
performed by 4th gear return type and
gear changing from top gear position to
neutral is impossible.
●When stopping gear changing from 4th
gear position to neutral is possible.
●When changing gear during driving,
change the gear after making the speed
high enough to change the gear.
<GEAR DOWN OPERATION>
If you gear down when you need to
drastically accelerate speed such as when
you are passing another vehicle, speed can
be accelerated. If you ride too fast, it
adversely affects engine because engine
revolution is excessive.
RIDING
●Make sure side stand is in original
position prior to starting vehicle.
If side stand moves unsatisfactorily,
check lubrication state on side stand
joint.
●Shift gear adequately according to
vehicle speed.
●To save fuel and maintain optimum
vehicle life, do not accelerate or
decelerate speed abruptly.
●Always start in the 1" gear, and start
carefully as slow as possible.
●If you hear abnormal noise during
travel, contact authorized main-
tenance shop immediately for
inspection and necessary action.
●Maintain legal speed limits.
●Make sure you understand the
function of the side stand mechanism.
