Always start motorcycle with the gear in neutral position.
When the engine speed decreases or while climbing
a gradient or running at a reduced speed, shift to the
appropriate lower gear to prevent the engine from
stalling or straining to pull.
Always shift to lower gears as appropriate
whenever slowing down to stop the vehicle.
Shift gears to neutral position just before bringing
the vehicle to a complete stop always.
Close throttle fully and release the clutch lever
slowly ensuring the motorcycle is in neutral
position and neutral lamp is glowing.
