IDLE ADJUSTMENT
The idle adjustment is located on the carburetor under the right side of the gas tank. It is a white knob that is
pointing down and forward. Turning this knob clockwise (Facing the knob) will increase the idle RPM.
ATTENTION
: ALWAYS ADJUST THE IDLE WHILE ENGINE IS RUNNING AND POSITIONED ON THE
MOTORCYCLE WITH HANDS ON THE BRAKES. THIS MOTORCYCLE IS AUTOMATIC AND WILL MOVE IF
IDLE IS SET TOO HIGH.
Because the motorcycle is automatic and the idle is neutral, the idle should be as low as possible. Adjust only
when the motor is warm and the choke is in the “in” (or “off”) position.
BRAKES
The front brake is a hand lever located on the right side handlebar. The rear brake is a foot operated lever located
above the right side floor board. The brakes are hydraulic disk type and require DOT 5 brake fluid.
ATTENTION
: USING OTHER THAN DOT 5 BRAKE FLUID WILL CAUSE DAMAGE TO THE BRAKE SYSTEM.
USE ONLY DOT 5 FLUID.
STARTER SAFETY SWITCH
This vehicle is equipped with a starter safety switch which keeps the motorcycle from starting unless triggered. The
rear or front brake pedal must be depressed for the starter to operate. Once started, you may let off the rear brake
pedal.
TRANSMISSION
The transmission is completely automatic and has no controls. It is a CVT (continuously variable transmission) type
transmission and has no manual gears. It operates with a variable speed belt that is made of rubber. Incorrect
operation or abuse can shorten the normal operating life of the belt.
NOTE: The engine idles at 700 RPM, the transmission goes into gear at about 1200 RPM. That 500 RPM
difference is all you have before the motorcycle begins to move. NEVER APPLY THE BRAKES AND REV THE
ENGINE ABOVE TRANSMISSION ENGAGEMENT SPEED! This causes premature CVT belt wear and possible
drive clutch damage that is not covered under warranty.
KICKSTAND
The kickstand is located on the left side of the vehicle. The kickstand does not lock. DO NOT PARK THE
MOTORCYCLE ON A SLOPE.
HANDLEBARS
The handlebars on the Auto-Glide are 1” in diameter. They are rubber mounted to isolate vibration.
