position. Now you can shift into first gear.
If desired, neutral may be selected by shifting into reverse and back
to forward again, when the first gear is engaged, and then moving
the reverse gear lever forward into neutral.
The
rear brake pedal
(Fig.1, #9) applies the rear wheel and
sidecar wheel brakes simultaneously.
WARNING: Do not apply either brake strongly enough to lock
the wheels because this may cause possible loss of control of
the motorcycle. Always use both brakes. Never stop with
front or rear brake only.
WARNING: An improperly adjusted rear brake pedal could
contact the exhaust system and interfere with proper rear
brake operation. An improperly adjusted rear brake push rod
could cause dragging brakes or interference between brake
pedal and exhaust system. Either condition could cause
improper rear brake operation.
Ignition lock (Fig. 1 #19) has three fixed positions of the key. 0
position - All instruments are cut off 1 position (running) - Voltage is
supplied to the ignition coil, horn, voltage regulator, stop signal
switches, neutral pilot lamp, turn indicator interrupter and head and
tail lamps.
Note: II position is not used for US. import models due to DOT
regulations.
Note: Leaving the key in the 1 or II position will discharge the
battery. Always return the key to the 0 position before taking it out.
Speedometer is on the dash board, with trip and total odometer.
The trip odometer is reset to zero by rotating push-button (Fig 1,
#3) counter-clockwise. Note that the odometer reads in km rather

The indicator lamps are also mounted on the instrument board: (2) -
turn indicator pilot lamp, orange (4) - gearbox neutral and reverse
gear engagement, green (18) - head lamp high beam indicator,
dark blue (20) - battery indicator lamp, red (discharging or low
battery).
Note: At lower engine speeds (about 3000 RPM and/or when
brakes or turn signals are employed), the battery indicator light will
either be on or will flash on and off. This is normal when charging
voltage is below battery voltage. If the light stays on continuously
during normal operation above approximately 3000 RPM, there is a
problem with the charging system or connection to the lamp.
