OPERATION AND IMPORTANT RIDING POINTS

5-2

CAUTION:

ECA11130

For maximum engine life, always
warm the engine up before starting
off. Never accelerate hard when the
engine is cold!

NOTE:

The engine is warm when it quickly re-
sponds to the throttle.

EAU16671

Shifting

Shifting gears lets you control the
amount of engine power available for
starting off, accelerating, climbing hills,
etc.
The gear positions are shown in the il-
lustration.

NOTE:

To shift the transmission into the neu-
tral position, press the shift pedal down
repeatedly until it reaches the end of its
travel, and then slightly raise it.

CAUTION:

ECA10260

●

Even with the transmission in
the neutral position, do not
coast for long periods of time
with the engine off, and do not
tow the motorcycle for long dis-
tances. The transmission is
properly lubricated only when
the engine is running. Inade-
quate lubrication may damage
the transmission.

●

Always use the clutch while
changing gears to avoid damag-
ing the engine, transmission,
and drive train, which are not
designed to withstand the
shock of forced shifting.

EAU16680

To start out and accelerate

1. Pull the clutch lever to disengage

the clutch.

2. Shift the transmission into first

gear. The neutral indicator light
should go out.

3. Open the throttle gradually, and at

the same time, release the clutch
lever slowly.

1. Shift pedal

2. Neutral position
