Moving off
1) Disengage the clutch by squeezing the clutch lever.
2) Push down the gear change lever firmly with the tip of
your foot to engage first gear.
3) Raise the engine revs by turning the throttle twistgrip
while gradually releasing the clutch lever. The motorcycle
will start moving.
4) Release the clutch lever completely and accelerate.
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 control 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 starts to slow down, so you will avoid stressing
the engine and the motorcycle abnormally.
Important
Avoid sudden 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.
Braking
Slow down in time, shift down to engine-brake first and then
brake applying both brakes. Pull the clutch lever before
stopping the motorcycle, to avoid sudden engine stop.
Warning
Use both the brake lever and the brake pedal for
effective braking.
Using only one of the brakes will give you less braking
power. Never use the brake controls harshly or suddenly as
you may lock the wheels and lose control of the motorcycle.
When riding in the rain or on slippery surfaces, braking
capacity is significantly reduced. Always use the brakes very
gently and carefully when riding under these conditions. Any
sudden manoeuvres may lead to loss of control. When
tackling long, high-gradient downhill road tracts, shift down
gears to use engine braking. Apply one brake at a time and
use brakes sparingly. Keeping the brakes applied
continuously causes the friction material to overheat and
dangerously reduces braking effectiveness. Underinflated or
overinflated tyres reduce braking efficiency, handling
accuracy and stability in a bend.
