Points for Attention during Drive
1. To warm the engine let engine idle. Do not rev the engine to prevent damage to the engine components.
2. The clutch will wear out quickly if the motorcycle is operated with the clutch in a semi-engaged position.
3. Shift to the low speed gears when you feel that there is insufficient power to climb hills or continue
forward.
4. Do not use the front brake only or coast using the neutral gear especially when descending or driving at
a high speed.
5. Decrease the throttle when braking.
