SHIFTING GEARS
After starting the engine, allow it to warm up for several minutes before riding the motorcycle.
1. While the engine is at idle, depress the Clutch Lever and press down with your foot on the
Gearshift Pedal to shift it down one position into low gear (first gear).
2. Gradually accelerate the engine and slowly release the Clutch Lever simultaneously. As the
motorcycle moves forward, fully release the Clutch Lever.
3. When changing to a higher gear, depress the Clutch Lever, lift the Gearshift Pedal up to shift
into second gear. Repeat this process for changing into other gears.
WARNING
Never shift gears without first depressing the clutch and decreasing the throttle, or
else the engine, driving chain and other components may be subject to damage.
RUN-IN PROCEDURE
Adhering to the correct Run-In Procedure is a
CRITICAL element in ensuring optimum
reliability, performance and longevity of your
motorcycle.
The principal elements are to allow the engine
to “warm up” sufficiently before use, avoid over
revving the engine, avoid over loading the
engine, shift slowly and smoothly through the
gears, vary engine speeds and travel speeds
regularly and strictly limit the top travel and
engine speeds. This is especially important
during the first 500 Km, after which the run-in
variables may be progressively increased until
your motorcycle is fully run-in at 1,500 Km.
See “Run-In Procedure” on you Hunter Flash
Disc for full details. If you are unsure about any
aspect of the procedure, consult with your
Hunter dealer BEFORE using your motorcycle.
First 500Km Run-in Speeds
GEAR SPEED
First 0 ~ 15km/h
Second 10 ~ 30km/h
Third 20 ~ 45km/h
Fourth 30 ~ 55km/h
Fifth 50 ~ 70km/h
BRAKING
When wanting to slow the motorcycle down, decrease the throttle first and then apply both front
and rear brake together to slow down or stop.
To apply an emergency brake, close the throttle first, depress the clutch and promptly apply both
the front and rear brakes at the same time.
Independent use of only the front or rear brake reduces braking performance and rapidly
applying a single brake may cause the front or rear wheel to lock and skid, resulting in loss of
control of the motorcycle and bringing about an accident.
When approaching a corner or turn, reduce the throttle and slow the motorcycle down by
applying both front and rear brakes at the same time before reaching the corner. Do not apply
the brakes whilst in the turn or corner, otherwise it may cause loss of control and a skid or
overturn. When riding on wet or loose surfaces, maneuver steadily.
STOPPING
Gradually re le ase the throttle, decelerate the motorcycle, and then gently apply both front and
rear brakes together to stop steadily, turn off the Ignition Switch and lock the Steering Lock. In
case of emergency, press the Engine Cut-off Switch to cut off the engine. Use the Side Stand to
support the
motorcycle.
