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.

TIP

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.

NOTICE

ECA10261



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.

EAU16682

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.

4. At the recommended shift points

shown in the following table, close
the throttle, and at the same time,
quickly pull the clutch lever in.

5. Shift the transmission into second

gear. (Make sure not to shift the
transmission into the neutral posi-
tion.)

6. Open the throttle part way and

gradually release the clutch lever.

7. Follow the same procedure when

shifting to the next higher gear.

TIP

When shifting gears in normal operat-
ing conditions, use the recommended
shift points.

EAU16701

To decelerate

1. Apply both the front and the rear

brakes to slow the motorcycle.

2. Shift the transmission into first

gear when the motorcycle reaches
20 km/h (12 mph). If the engine is
about to stall or runs very roughly,
pull the clutch lever in and use the
brakes to stop the motorcycle.

3. Shift the transmission into the neu-
