Shifting Gears
Basic Operation & Riding
The shift lever is located near the left footpeg. One full stroke of the
shift lever shifts the transmission to the next higher or lower gear in the
shifting sequence. The shift lever automatically returns to the horizontal
position when released.
Your ATV has five forward gears (1, 2, 3, 4 and 5). To shift the
transmission, pull in the clutch lever, then operate the shift lever as
follows.
To upshift to a higher gear, put the toe of your boot under the shift lever
and raise it one full stroke. To downshift, step on the shift lever and
depress it one full stroke.
After starting the engine and letting it warm up, follow these
procedures:
With the transmission in neutral, depress and hold down the rear
brake pedal. Release the clutch lever/parking brake lever (page
).
To select reverse, use the reverse assist lever (page ).
