Moving the Vehicle
• Disengage the clutch by pressing the control
lever.
• Press the gear shift pedal downwards with the tip
of your foot to engage the first gear.
• Increase the engine speed by turning the throttle
twist grip while gradually releasing the clutch
lever; the motor cycle start moving forward.
• Release the clutch lever and increase the engine
speed (increase the throttle).
• To up shift the gear, close the throttle to slow
down the engine speed, disengage the clutch,
lift the gear shift pedal up and release the clutch
lever.
- To down shift the gear, proceed as follows:
release the throttle twist grip, pull the clutch
lever, increase the engine speed for a moment
to allow the gears to synchronise, down shift
the gear and release the clutch lever.
- Use controls wisely and promptly: when
riding uphill do not hesitate to down shift the
gears as soon as the vehicle tends to slow
down. This will avoid stressing the vehicle
and the engine abnormally.
Avoid sudden acceleration, as this may lead to misfiring,
improper engagement of transmission (snatching).
Do not pull the clutch lever longer than necessary after
engaging the gear. Otherwise the friction plates in clutch
may get overheat and wears out quickly.
