Note
For high speed driving, always avoid releasing
the accelerator suddenly. It is advised to wait a
moment until the engine is running at 3000-
5000 rpm before fully releasing the accelerator.
This can prevent the engine from shutting down as
a result of abnormal combustion.
Use of a transformation device
The transmission device enables the engine to run
smoothly with a normal range of operation.
The transmission gear ratio is carefully selected for
engine performance. Always engage an appropriate
gear for the driving conditions.
Do not use the clutch as a means of speed control.
Caution
The engine speed must not be in the red range of
the tachometer in any gear
Driving on a slope
To shift from a high gear to a low gear, control the
speed in a safe speed range before shifting gears to
avoid abrupt deceleration. A sudden rise of engine
speed can be damaging to the vehicle and dangerous to
the driver.
When going up a steep slope, the motorcycle may
decelerate due to insufficient power. If this occurs,
immediately shift to a lower gear to allow the engine
to run within a normal range. Ensure that you shift
gears swiftly in order to maintain adequate forward
momentum.
Always maintain a safe speed when driving down a
slope. Use the engine for breaking by shifting into a
lower gear.
