How to Ride the Motorcycle

Changing Gears

Warning

Take care to avoid opening the throttle

too far or too fast in any of the lower

gears as this can lead to the front

wheel lifting from the ground (pulling a

'wheelie') and to the rear tyre breaking

traction (wheel spin).

Always open the throttle cautiously,

particularly if you are unfamiliar with

the motorcycle, as a 'wheelie' or loss of

traction will cause loss of motorcycle

control and an accident.

Warning

Do not change to a lower gear at

speeds that will cause excessive

engine rpm (r/min).

This can lock the rear wheel causing

loss of control and an accident. Engine

damage may also be caused.

Changing down should be done such

that low engine speeds will be ensured.

1. Gear change pedal (6 speed shown)

To change gear:

• Close the throttle while pulling in the

clutch lever.

• Change into the next higher or

lower gear.

• Open the throttle part way, while

releasing the clutch lever. Always

use the clutch when changing gear.

Note

The gear change mechanism is the

'positive stop' type. This means that,

for each movement of the gear change

pedal, you can only select each gear,

one after the other, in ascending or

descending order.
