Riding the Cruiser400
Once the engine is engaged, to get the bike moving forward, hold in the clutch
and wait for a moment, then select 1
st
gear (one click down) on the gear shift.
Turn the throttle handle toward yourself and at the same time, gradually release
the lever. After the clutch is engaged, the motorcycle will start.
To change to another higher gear, accelerate slowly and then loosen the throttle
handle. After shifting to another higher gear and releasing the clutch lever, turn
the throttle handle again.
Use of Transmission
The transmission mechanism can assure the engine running smoothly.
The transmission ratio is designed in accord with the engine
performance. The driver should choose the best transmission ratio
under general conditions.
Driving on slope
When driving on steep slopes, the motorcycle will lose speed. If the throttle
is not engaging quickly, shift the gear to a lower one, then the engine can run
in its normal power range. You should shift gears quickly to avoid losing
momentum.
When driving down hills shift the engine to low gear to facilitate braking.
Use Brake and Parking
Turn the throttle handle towards yourself to close the throttle. Use the fore
and rear brake evenly at the same time.
Use gear shift to decelerate.
Before the motorcycle stops, hold tight to the clutch lever, and shift the gear
to neutral. See the neutral light to check if it’s neutral.
Safely Parking your Cruiser400
The motorcycle should be parked on firm ground.
If the motorcycle needs to be parked by the side stand on a slope, it should be
shifted to 1
st
gear t o prevent slippage. Lock the steering to ensure
security
Caution:
Inexperienced riders often use only the rear brake. Please note this will
aggravate rear brake wear and lengthen braking distance .
Warning:
The higher the speed, the longer the braking distance is. Please ensure safety
distance between your motorcycle and other motorcycles, vehicles, or objects.
Warning:
It is very dangerous to use only the fore or rear brake; this may lead to
skidding or losing control. You should be very careful to use brakes on wet
roads. Sudden braking on slippery or bumpy roads is extremely dangerous to
properly reducing speed. Attempt to use both brakes together
