How To Ride The Motorcycle

Changing Gears
Warning
Do not change to a lower gear at
speeds that will cause excessive
engine rpm (r/min). This can lock the
rear wheel causing loss of motorcycle
control and an accident.
Engine damage may also be caused.
Changing down should be done such
that low engine speeds will be ensured.
Warning
With the traction control enabled, it
will limit the amount of front wheel lift
and rear wheel slip.
If
the
traction
control
is
not
functioning or disabled, avoid opening
the throttle too far or too fast in any
of the lower gears as this can lead to
the front wheel lifting from the ground
(pulling a wheelie) and to the rear tyre
breaking traction (wheel spin).
Always open the throttle cautiously,
particularly if you are unfamiliar with
the motorcycle, as a wheelie or loss of
traction will cause loss of motorcycle
control and an accident.
