1. Start
Tips for Additional Practice
– You can gradually increase
speed as you get comfort-
able to 16 km/h - 19 km/h
(10 MPH - 12 MPH) for the weaves,
but slow down for the U-turns at the
ends.
7) Shifting
When riding, you must change gears
to match the engine speed with road
speed. Lower gears are used for lower
speeds and higher gears are used for
higher speeds, just like on a manual
transmission car or truck.
The SE6 will automatically downshift
if the engine speed drops under 1800
RPMs.
Purpose
– Learn to upshift and downshift.
