REQUIRED RIDING SKILLS AND PRACTICE EXERCISES
Even in a closed lot, be aware of poten-
tial traffic. Check to the front, sides
and rear before doing an exercise.
Also, watch out for children and ani-
mals.
Preparing to Ride
Know the location and operation of all
the vehicle controls.
Perform the pre-ride inspection; see
PRE-RIDE INSPECTION
section.
Always start and stop the engine ac-
cording to the instructions in
START-
ING AND STOPPING THE ENGINE
in
BASIC PROCEDURES
.
Riding Posture
Good posture helps you maneuver the
vehicle more easily. Always keep both
hands and both feet in position so that
you can operate the controls easily.
The wrist should typically be aligned
straight with the arm (this position
helps you apply the amount of throt-
tle you want). Arms should be relaxed
and bent. Keep your back straight and
your head and eyes up. Keep both feet
on the pegs near the controls.
Never operate the vehicle, even for a
short distance, unless you are in the
proper riding posture.

TYPICAL — RIDING POSTURE
Practice Exercises
1) Revving the Engine and Using the
Engine Stop Switch
Purpose
– Become familiar with the operation
of the twist throttle.
– Become familiar with the sound of
the engine at different RPMs. This
will help you to know when to up-
shift and downshift based on the
engine sound.
– Become familiar with using the en-
gine stop switch.
Directions
– Start with the vehicle in NEUTRAL,
the parking brake engaged, and your
right foot on the brake pedal. Check
the multifunction gauge to be sure
you are in NEUTRAL – if you are in
first gear, it will try to start moving
when you apply the throttle.
– Watch the tachometer and apply
throttle (twist by lowering your
wrist) a few times to raise the RPM
to no more than 4000. Practice
applying the throttle gently and
smoothly, holding it steady at about
3000 RPMs, and releasing it. As
long as the transmission is in neu-
tral the power will not transfer to
the rear wheel.
– Use the engine stop switch to cut
all power to the vehicle. Press the
switch with your right thumb while
keeping your hand on the handgrip.
Tips for Additional Practice
– Practice pressing the engine stop
switch without looking at it.
2) Starting, Stopping and Basic
Handling
Purpose
– Learn throttle control and how to get
the vehicle moving.
– Become familiar with low speed de-
celeration and braking.
