7.
Begin the process of shifting from first (1st) to second (2nd) gear after the vehicle has progressed a few
yards. First gear is used primarily to get the vehicle started moving forward and stabilized under
operator control.
8.
Simultaneously decelerate the engine (by twisting throttle control grip all the way clockwise, away from the
operator) and disengage the clutch (by squeezing the clutch lever all the way into the control grip.)
9.
Lift the foot gear shift lever to its full up position and release. This should put the vehicle into 2nd gear.
10.
Repeat steps 8 and 9 to continue advancing in gear number to fifth (5th) gear or sixth (6th) gear
as desired.
Use “Gear Shifting Speed Table” as a guide as to when to shift to the next highest gear.
To downshift (shift from a higher to a lower gear) follow the similar procedure of disengaging clutch, only
reducing engine throttle by about one half to ensure engaging to a lower gear does not cause the rear wheel
to lose traction, depressing the foot shifter lever to its full down position and release, smoothly releasing
the clutch lever to permit engagement, and increasing throttle speed as desired. Always shift into first gear
when coming to a full stop.
DOWNSHIFTING (SHIFTING FROM A HIGHER TO A LOWER GEAR POSITION) AT SPEEDS IN EXCESS OF
THOSE LISTED IN THE “GEAR SHIFTING SPEED TABLE” IN THIS SECTION OF THE MANUAL MAY RESULT
IN SEVERE DAMAGE TO THE VEHICLE AND LOSS OF CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE DUE TO REAR WHEEL
TRACTION LOSS. GEAR SHIFTING SPEEDS SHOULD BE ADJUSTED DOWNWARD IF ROAD SURFACE
CONDITIONS WARRANT.
