PART 2
BRAKES
Most small off-highway motorcycles have a
hand lever on the right handlebar which operates
the front brake. Most also have a foot pedal on
the right side to operate the rear brake. Refer
to the owner’s manual for correct brake location
and operation.
Explain and demonstrate proper braking
procedure. Be sure your youngster can ap-
ply the brake(s) properly while seated and
without looking down. Smooth operation should
be encouraged.
THROTTLE CONTROL
Explain to your youngster that twisting the
throttle control back will make the motorcycle
go faster. Closing the throttle control slows
the motorcycle.
Youngsters need practice using the throttle
control smoothly. They tend to use it like an on/off
switch. With the engine off, have your youngster
move the throttle to various positions. Practice
turning the handlebars and using the throttle at
the same time.
ENGINE STOP SWITCH
Explain to your youngster how to use the engine
stop switch to turn off the engine. With the engine
off, show how the stop switch works. Later, your
youngster can practice using the stop switch when
the engine is actually running.
CLUTCH/SHIFT LEVER
Some small OHMs do not have a clutch lever;
some don't have a shift lever either. This section
applies only to motorcycles with a shift lever. Those
that do have a shift lever may have different shift
patterns. Refer to your owner’s manual for proper
shifting instructions. It is important to learn how
the shift lever works.
Explain that it is possible to shift the motorcycle
with the shift lever in order to ride at different speeds.
