Shifting/Riding
You are now in first gear, refered to as the drive or uphill gear. Depending
on the conditions (traffic, hill size, etc.), you can shift to a higher gear. Close
throttle, at the same time pull clutch lever in and shift to the next higher
gear. Let clutch lever go again and give gas. 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 although the engine will
use less gas.
Only give as much gas as the engine can handle. Through quick and high
reving of throttle, the gas usage increases.
