Gear
changes while on the move must be quick; they will
present no problem
after
some practice. Don't run
too
slowly

direct (top)
gear
as
this spells
damage
to
engine
and
transmission (chain).
When

release
the
clutch
again
as when changing up, but leave
the
throttle
somewhat
open

allow the engine
to
gather
speed
so
that
the
change
can
be
made
without a jerk.
On
larger
hills
change

in
time. Letting
the
clutch slip
instead
is
utterly wrong
and
will leqd
to
trouble.
Stopping
When
stopping
at
intersections
_or
other
obstacles
do
not
hold out the clutch all the time, but slip into neutral,
and
afterwards
restart from
1st
gear.
