GEARSHIFT LEVER
This motorcycle has a 6-speed trans-
mission which operates as shown. To
shift properly, pull the clutch lever and
close the throttle at the same time you
operate the gearshift lever. Lift the
gearshift lever to
upshift and depress
the lever to downshift. Neutral is
located between low and 2nd gear.
When neutral is desired, depress or
lift the lever halfway between low and
2nd gear.
NOTE:
When the transmission is in
neutral the green indicator light on the
instrument panel will be lit. However,
even though the light is illuminated,
cautiously release the clutch lever
slowly to determine whether the
transmission is positively in neutral.
Reduce the motorcycle speed before
down-shifting. When down-shifting,
the engine speed should be
increased before the clutch is
engaged. This will prevent unneces-
sary wear on the drive train compo-
nents and the rear tire.
REAR BRAKE PEDAL
Depressing the rear brake pedal will
apply the rear disk brake. The brake
light will be illuminated when the rear
brake is operated.
