Let's Start Riding
Start the motorcycle for your youngster
Walk next to the motorcycle when your young-
ster first starts riding. You can also let the beginner
ride back and forth between you and another adult.
Help your youngster with the turns as he or she
practices throttle control and braking.
STARTING OUT AND STOPPING
Before your youngster moves the motorcycle
under power, take a few moments to practice smooth
clutch control. After shifting to first gear, have your
youngster rock the motorcycle a few inches back and
forth by moving the clutch in and out of the “friction
zone.” The clutch is not fully released while doing
this. It is important that clutch operation is smooth
before riding in the practice area.
The next practice session is straight-line
starts and stops. Keep the riding under control.
