9 RIDING INSTRUCTIONS 61

– Shift into a higher gear when conditions allow (incline, road situation, etc.).
– Release the throttle while simultaneously pulling the clutch lever, shift into the next
gear, release the clutch lever, and open the throttle.
Info
You can see the positions of the 6 forward gears in the figure. The neutral or idle
position is between the first and second gears. First gear is used for starting off
or for steep inclines.
The operating temperature is reached when 5 bars of the temperature indicator
light up.
– After reaching maximum speed by fully opening the throttle grip, turn the throttle back
so it is ¾ open. This will barely reduce the speed but fuel consumption will be consid-
erably lower.
– Accelerate only up to a speed suitable for the road surface and weather conditions. Par-
ticularly in bends, do not shift, and accelerate very carefully.
– Brake if necessary and close the throttle at the same time in order to shift down.
– Pull the clutch lever and shift into a lower gear, release the clutch lever slowly, and
open the throttle or shift again.
– If the engine stalls (e.g. at a crossroads), just pull the clutch lever and press the elec-
tric starter button. You do not have to shift into neutral.
– Switch off the engine if running at idle or standing for a long time.
– If the engine warning lamp lights up while riding, stop immediately taking care not to
endanger yourself or other road users in the process.
