Moving off
1) Squeeze the control lever to disengage the
clutch.
2) Push down on gear change lever sharply with the
tip of your foot to engage the first gear.
3) Speed up the engine by turning the throttle
twistgrip while gradually releasing the clutch
lever; the motorcycle will start moving off.
4) Let go of clutch lever and speed up.
5) To shift up, close the throttle to slow down
engine, disengage the clutch, lift the gear change
lever and let go of clutch lever.
To shift down, proceed as follows: release the
twistgrip, pull the clutch lever, shortly speed up to
help gears synchronise, shift down (engage next
lower gear) and release the clutch.
The controls should be used correctly and timely:
when riding uphill do not hesitate to shift down as
soon as the motorcycle tends to slow down, so you
will avoid stressing the engine and the motorcycle
abnormally.
Warning
Avoid harsh acceleration, as this may lead to
misfiring and transmission snatching. The clutch lever
should not be held in longer than necessary after a
gear is engaged, otherwise friction parts may
overheat and wear out.
Warning
Prolonged wheelies could deactivate the ABS
system.
