Braking :
• Close the throttle completely, leaving the
clutch engaged (except where shifting
gears) so that the engine braking will help
slow down the motorcycle.
• Shift down one gear at a time so that you
are in Neutral when you come to a
complete stop.
• When stopping, always apply both brakes
at the same time. De-clutch as necessary
to avoid engine stalling.
Warning :
When shifting down to lower
gear, do not shift at such high speed that
engine rpm jumps excessively. This may
cause engine damage, and rear wheel may
skid. Downshifting should be done at
recommended speeds as shown in table.
Moving Off :
• Check that Center/Side stand is up.
• Depress the clutch lever.
st
• Shift into 1 gear.
• Open the throttle and release the clutch
lever slowly and simultaneously.
• As the clutch starts to engage, open the
throttle a little more, giving the engine just
enough rpm to keep it from stalling.
