lever to the next higher 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
3000-5000 rpm 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 lock up of the rear wheel. 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 to run in 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.
●
Be sure to keep in mind to never drive too fast down a slope!
Never allow the engine to run at a very high speed for a long time.
Use of brake and parking method
Rotate the accelerator grip forward to fully close the throttle.
At the same time, apply the front and rear brakes with even force.
