Shifting Gears (General)
The gear shift pedal is operated by the left foot. Shift to
a higher gear by lifting the front peg of the pedal with
your toe. Shift to a lower gear by pressing down on the
peg with your toe.
Neutral is located between first and second gear. The
transmission is in neutral when the motorcycle moves
forward or backward freely while the clutch is engaged
(clutch lever released). With the ignition switch in the
ON position, the Neutral indicator illuminates when the
transmission is in neutral.
WARNING
The clutch must be fully disengaged (clutch lever pulled completely toward the
handlebars) before you attempt to shift gears. Forced shifting (shifting without the clutch
disengaged) may damage the engine, transmission, and drive train, causing loss of control
of the motorcycle.
