Depending on the conditions (traffic, hill size, etc.), you can
shift to a higher gear. Turn down the throttle, at the same time
pull clutch lever in and shift to the next higher gear. Let clutch
lever go again and open the throttle. If you turned on the
choke, make sure you turn it off again as soon as engine is
warm.
When you reach full speed through opening the throttle all the
way, turn throttle back to
3
/
4
; the speed hardly decreases alt-
hough the engine will use less gas. Only give as much gas as
the engine can handle. Through quick and high revving of
throttle, the gas consumption increase. When shifting down,
use the brakes if necessary and turn down at the same time.
Pull clutch lever and shift down to the next lower gear. Let
clutch lever go slowly and open throttle or shift down again.
