PRIMARY CONTROLS
15
1) Handlebar
Grip the handlebar with both hands.
Steer the handlebar in the direction you
want to go.
2) Throttle
Twist the right handgrip to operate the
throttle.
This controls the vehicle’s
speed by controlling the flow of fuel
to the engine.
To speed up, twist the throttle toward
you (lower your wrist).
To slow down, twist it away from you
(raise your wrist).

TO DECREASE SPEED
The throttle is spring loaded and should
return to idle when you release your
grip.
This vehicle is equipped with an
Electronic Throttle Control (ETC). The
throttle plates in the throttle body
are controlled electronically and can
be opened or closed irrespective of
the throttle twist grip position when
necessary.
It may happen that when you acceler-
ate, the Vehicle Stability System (VSS)
prevents engine acceleration in order to
maintain vehicle stability. Then, when
the vehicle is stabilized, the engine
RPM would increase as requested if
the throttle was maintained. This would
be felt as a "delayed" acceleration.
The VSS can never accelerate the ve-
hicle. All it can do is to open the throttle
slightly to decrease the amount of en-
gine braking on slippery surfaces. This
prevents the rear tire from slipping be-
cause of engine braking.
3) Gearshift Selector
The gearshift selector is underneath
the left handgrip.
219002072-200
The gear pattern is Reverse-Neutral-1-
2-3-4-5-6.
Press selector forward to upshift. Pull
selector toward you to downshift.
