GEARSHIFT LEVER
This motorcycle has a 6-speed
transmission which operates as
shown. To shift properly, squeeze
the clutch lever and close the
throttle at the same time you
operate the gearshift lever. Lift the
gearshift lever to upshift and
depress the lever to downshift.
Neutral is located between 1st
and 2nd gear. When neutral is
desired, depress or lift the lever
halfway between 1st and 2nd
gear.
NOTE: When the transmission is
in neutral, the green indicator light
on the instrument panel will be lit.
However, even though the light is
illuminated, cautiously and slowly
release the clutch lever to make
sure that the transmission is posi-
tively in neutral.
Reduce the motorcycle speed
before down-shifting. When down-
shifting, the engine speed should
be increased before the clutch is
engaged. This will prevent unnec-
essary wear on the drive train
components and the rear tire.
WARNING
If you overfill the fuel tank, fuel
may overflow when it expands
due to engine heat or heating
by the sun. Fuel that overflows
can catch fire.
Stop adding fuel when the fuel
level reaches the bottom of the
filler neck.
WARNING
Failure to follow safety precau-
tions when refueling could
result in a fire or cause you to
breathe toxic fumes.
Refuel in a well ventilated area.
Make sure the engine is off and
avoid spilling fuel on a hot
engine. Do not smoke, and make
sure there are no open flames or
sparks in the area. Avoid breath-
ing gasoline vapors. Keep chil-
dren and pets away when you
refuel the motorcycle.
