gear lever to engage the first gear, rotate the accelerator grip slowly to
you and smoothly and slowly release the clutch grip. When the clutch is
engaged, the motorcycle will move forward.
To change into a higher speed gear, firstly decelerate a little, release
the accelerator and, at the same time, press the clutch grip, shift the gear
lever to the next higher speed gear position and release the clutch grip,
slightly rotate the accelerator. In this way, the highest gear can be
engaged gradually.
Note
：
For high speed driving, always avoid releasing the accelerator
suddenly. it is advised to wait a moment when the engine is running at
3000-5000rpm before fully releasing the accelerator. This can prevent the
engine from shutdown due to abnormal combustion.
Use of transformation device
Transformation device is able to allow the engine running smoothly
within normal range of operation. The transmission gear ratio is carefully
selected for the engine performance. Driver shall select gears suitable to
general conditions but shall not use the clutch for the purpose of speed
control. To decelerate, shift to a low gear to allow the engine running in a
normal speed range.
Precaution
：
①
The engine speed shall not be in the red range of the tachometer
in any gear.
Driving on a slope
②
To shift from a high gear to a low gear, control the speed in a
safe speed range before gear shifting. Otherwise, abrupt deceleration
(sudden rise of engine speed) may happen, causing gear impacts, sever
parts wearing, or overbalance of the vehicle. it is dangerous.
Slope climbing:
●
When going up a steep slope, the motorcycle may decelerate due
to insufficient power. Then, immediately shift to a low gear to allow the
engine running a normal power range. Pay attention that, gear shifting
shall be made quickly to keep adequate forward momentum of the
motorcycle.
●
When going down a slope, use the engine for braking, by shifting
into a lower gear.
