Honda 1989 PACIFIC COAST PC800, Owner'S Manual

Page: 53 / 98

OPERATION
• Do not downshift when traveling at a speed that would
force the engine to overrev in the next lower gear; the rear
wheel may loose traction, resulting in possible loss of
vehicle control.
CAUTION:
• Do not shift gears without disengaging the clutch and closing
the throttle. The engine and drive chain could be damaged
by overspeed and shock.
• Do not tow the motorcycle or coast for long distances
while the engine is off. The transmission will not be properly
lubricated and damage may result.
• Do not exceed 7600 rpm when running the engine without
a load. Serious engine damage may result.
NOTE:
•
Be careful when revving the engine or accelerating in 1st or
2nd gear as the engine speed will easily enter the red bar.
