(1) Fuel level

Gear lever
The motorcycle is provided with a 5-speed gear transmission. The gear lever
connects to a ratchet mechanism in the transmission. After selecting a gear, the
gear lever returns to the at rest position so that the next gear can be selected.
The neutral gear is between the 1
st
gear and 2nd gear positions. From neutral
position, press down the gear lever to engage a 1
st
gear. Raise the gear lever
one step to move up a gear. Owing to the ratchet mechanism you cannot move
more than one gear up or down in one operation. To shift from 2
nd
gear to low
gear, or from low gear to 2nd gear, the neutral position is passed without
engaging neutral. To engage neutral gear very gently nudge the lever down (if in
2
nd
) or up if in first gear.
Do not fill the tank excessively. Never splash fuel onto a hot engine.
Overfilling the tank can result in fuel leaking from the filler cap if there is
expansion due to the machine being left in strong sunshine.
During refueling the engine must be turned off and the ignition
isolated. Smoking is strictly forbidden during fuel refilling.
