OPERATION
Operation
Shifting Gears (Downshifting)
WARNING
Downshifting at a speed in excess of the recommended downshift point may severely
damage the transmission or cause the rear wheel to lose traction. It could also result in
engine damage from running at excessive RPM. Reduce speed before downshifting and do
not downshift at a speed above that in the table of recommended shift points.
Downshifting abruptly on wet, rough, loose or slippery surfaces can cause the motorcycle
to skid. When downshifting while passing over such surfaces, release the clutch lever very
gradually.
Downshifting on a curve may cause the rear wheel to lose traction. Downshift before
entering a curve. Release the clutch lever gradually.
