ly skipped.
Reduce the motorcycle speed before

When the transmission is in neutral, the
green indicator lamp on the instrument
panel will be lit.
However, even though the lamp is illu-
minated, cautiously release the clutch
lever slowly to determine whether the
transmission is positively in neutral.
