TO DECREASE SPEED
The throttle is spring loaded and should
return to idle when you release your
grip.
NOTE: This vehicle is equipped with
an ETC (Electronic Throttle Control).
The throttle plates in the throttle body
are controlled electronically and can be
opened or closed irrespective of the
throttle twist grip position when nec-
essary. It may happen that when you
accelerate, the VSS (Vehicle Stability
System) prevents engine acceleration
in order to maintain vehicle stability.
Then, when the vehicle is stabilized,
the engine RPM would increase as re-
quested if the throttle was maintained.
This would be felt as a "delayed" accel-
eration.
3) Gearshift Selector
The gearshift selector is below the left
handgrip.
