GEAR SHIFTING
Reduce throttle before shifting. Never increase throttle while shifting gears.
Pull in clutch lever and depress shift lever to place in 1st gear. Lift up shift
lever to shift to 2nd, 3rd and 4th. Before shifting into any gear, pull in clutch
lever. Once in gear, release clutch lever.
Do not rest your foot on the gear-shift lever while operating dirt bike, doing so
could cause unwanted shifting without applying clutch. Shifting without the
clutch could cause damage to transmission.

Points for Attention during Drive
1- Avoid unnecessary idling of engine at high speeds. Idling engine at high
speeds will damage engine components.
2- The clutch will wear out quickly if clutch is in a semi-engaged position.
Clutch should be pulled in and release once desired gear is achieved, do
not hold clutch half in or half out of engagement.
3- Shift to lower gears when there is insufficient power to climb hills or
continue forward.
4- Use both front and rear brakes when coming to a stop. Applying front
brake only could cause front wheel to lock up which could result in an
accident.
5- Do not place transmission in neutral while traveling at high speeds
6- Decrease throttle while braking.
