REQUIRED RIDING SKILLS AND PRACTICE EXERCISES
away. You may want to use the parking
lot aisles for this exercise rather than
riding in the spaces.
8a) Practice Using the Shift Lever at
a Stop
First, while stopped, practice the left
foot motion for shifting between first
and second gears.
– At a stop in first gear, pull in the
clutch lever.
– Slide the tip of your left foot under
the shift lever and lift it as far as it
will go, one firm stroke up to shift
into second gear.
– Step on the shift lever and press it as
far as it will go, one firm stroke down
to shift into first gear.
– Repeat until you are comfortable
with the foot motions required.
8b) Upshifting from First into
Second Gear
In the straightaway, accelerate to ap-
proximately 16 km/h (10 MPH) in first
gear.
To upshift:
– Release the throttle.
– Pull in the clutch lever. (If you pull in
the clutch before releasing throttle,
the engine may rev – just release the
throttle if this happens.)
– Slide the tip of your left foot under
the shift lever and lift it as far as it
will go, one firm stroke up to shift
into second gear.
– Smoothly ease out the clutch.
– You do not need to apply throttle,
but once you are comfortable, if
space allows, you can apply the
throttle to increase speed in sec-
ond gear.
As you approach the end of the
straightaway, come to a stop:
– Release the throttle.
– Pull the clutch lever all the way in.
– Apply brake.
– After stopping, downshift into first
gear by stepping on the shift lever
and pressing it as far as it will go,
one firm stroke down. Once you
are more comfortable, downshift
into first as you come to a stop.
