Lifan 125GY-5, Owner'S Manual

Page: 11 / 24

While the engine idling, pull in the clutch lever and push down the gear-
shift pedal to shift into low (1st) gear.
Slowly release the clutch lever and at the same time gradually increase
engine speed by opening the throttle.
When the motorcycle attains a steady speed, close the throttle, pull in the
clutch lever and shift to 2nd gear by treading the gearshift pedal.
This sequence is repeated to progressively shift to higher gears.
Coordinate the throttle with brakes for smooth deceleration.
Both front and rear brakes should be used at the same time and should not
be applied strongly enough to lock the wheel, or braking effectiveness will
be reduced and control of the motorcycle be difficult.
CAUTION
It is forbidden to gearshift up or down when the throttle is still not
decreased and the clutch is in. Otherwise, damage to the engine, chain
and other parts may occur. Make sure the gearshift pedal is operated
gently and exactly. Riding with your foot resting on the brake pedal
may suddenly change a speed and/or damage the driving mechanism.
BRAKING AND PARKING
To stop the motorcycle, close the throttle and disengage the clutch by pulling
in the clutch lever, then smoothly operate the front and rear brakes until
stopping the motorcycle.
Shift the transmission into neutral, turn the emergency switch to
position. Then set the fuel cock to position, support the motorcycle
with the center or side stand. After parking, turn the ignition switch to
position and lock the steering
lock, followed by removing the key.
For parking, gradually apply both the front and rear brakes until
stopping the motorcycle, prevent it from side-slipping or falling over.
Independent use of only the front or rear brake downgrades stopping
performance, and may damage or wear the brake speedily. Be carefuel
to avoid applying an emergency brake when riding on wet surfaces, or
at a high speed. Otherwise a traffic accident may happen.
