Moving off
1) Disengage the clutch by squeezing the clutch
lever.
2) Push down the gear change lever firmly with the
tip of your foot to engage first gear.
3) Raise the engine revs, turn the throttle twistgrip
while gradually releasing the clutch lever. The
motorcycle will start moving off.
4) Release the clutch lever completely and
accelerate.
5) To shift up, close the throttle to slow down the
engine, disengage the clutch, lift the gear change
lever and let go of the clutch lever.
To shift down, proceed as follows: release the
twistgrip, pull the clutch lever, shortly speed up to
help gears synchronize, shift down (engage next
lower gear) and release the clutch.
The controls should be used correctly and with
promptness. When riding uphill do not hesitate to
shift down as soon as the motorcycle tends to slow
down. This will avoid undue stress on the engine and
motorcycle.
Attention
Avoid harsh accelerations, as this may lead to
misfiring and transmission snatching. The clutch
lever should not be pulled longer than necessary after
gear is engaged or else friction parts may overheat
and wear out.
Attention
Prolonged wheelies could deactivate the ABS
system.
