WARNING
Downshifting when engine speed is too
high can;
• cause the rear wheel to skid and lose
traction due to increased engine brak-
ing, resulting in an accident; or
• force the engine to overrev in the
lower gear, resulting in engine dam-
age.
Reduce speed before downshifting.
WARNING
Downshifting while the motorcycle is
leaned over in a corner may cause rear
wheel skid and loss of control.
Reduce your speed and downshift
before entering a corner.
NOTICE
Improper gearshift lever operation can
damage the transmission.
• Do not rest your foot on the gearshift
lever.
• Do not use force to shift gears.
