How To Ride The Motorcycle
98
Warning
Take care to 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 tire 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.
Note:
•
The gear shift mechanism is the
positive stop type. This means that,
for each movement of the gear
shift pedal, you can only select
each gear, one after the other, in
ascending or descending order.
Warning
Do not shift to a lower gear at speeds
that will cause excessive engine rpm
(r/min). This can lock the rear wheel
causing loss of control and an
accident. Engine damage may also be
caused. Shifting down should be done
such that low engine speeds will be
ensured.
