Pull
in
the clutch lever to disengage the clutch. Press
down
on
the
toe
section of the shift lever to engage
first
gear. Slowly
twist
the accelerator
grip (engine
speed
begins to increase)
and
gently release the clutch
lever.
Done
properly,
the
machine will accelerate smoothly.
After starting off, accelerate to approximately 1 5
mph.
Next, to shift into
second
gear,
perform these steps simultaneously:
1. Disengage the clutch while twisting the accelerator grip to the closed
position.
2. Shift into second gear
by
raising the toe section of the shift lever
one
full position (in this case, the neutral position
is
bypassed).
3. Increase engine
speed
slowly while gradually releasing the clutch
lever.
Accelerate to approximately
30
mph.
To
shift
into third
gear,
repeat
the
same
procedure.
Use
this procedure each time you want to shift
into a higher
gear.
You
can
also
use
the
drag
of the engine to slow down. Decelerating is
accomplished
by
reversing the above procedure.
Twist
the throttle to
the
closed position, disengage the clutch,
and
depress the shift lever.
Then
slowly release the clutch.
Note:
When
shifting gears always remember that the tachometer is
your
guide to
keep
from over-revving
and
possibly damaging the
engine.
Keep the rpm's
in
the 3,000- 6,500
rpm
range except
during
break-in, which will
be
explained later.
