SHIFTING GEARS
The transmission is a 6 speed, return shift type meaning that to go
back to first gear from a higher gear, you must shift back through
the gears one by one.
To engage first gear from neutral, pull in the clutch lever and push
down on the shift pedal then release the pressure on the shift pedal
and gently release the clutch lever.
CAUTION
When changing gears, press firmly on the shift pedal to ensure
complete, positive shifting. Careless, incomplete shifts can cause
the transmission to jump out of gear and lead to engine damage.

COLD STARTING
The cold start function is responsible for aiding the engine start if
this is cold. (The injection system has a feature which allows high
idling when the engine is cold.)
- There is no need to use the throttle, simply start the engine. Note
that the engine will start after a certain number of revolutions.
After some minutes, the engine will be at normal operation
temperature. The engine will reach its optimal temperature, in low
time and without causing damage.
NOTE
- If the engine is flooded then start with the throttle fully open.
- The motorcycle may be started in gear if the clutch is
disengaged.
