Shifting Gears
Basic Operation & Riding
Your ATV has five forward gears: 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5.
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.
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.
To select reverse, use the reverse selector knob (page ). 79
