GEAR SHIFT LEVER
CAUTION
The clutch must be fully disengaged before attempting a gear
shift. Failure to fully disengage the clutch can result in
equipment damage.
The gear shift lever is located on the left side of the
motorcycle and is operated with the left foot. The
transmission is a six speed sequential gear box. See figure 1.
To select a gear;
• Pull the clutch hand lever in against handlebar grip
to fully disengage the clutch. See Figure 6.
• Push the gear shift lever all the way down (full
stroke) to shift the transmission to the next lower gear.
• Lift the shift lever all the way up (full stroke) to shift
the transmission to the next higher gear. See figure 11.
• Push the lever down to shift the transmission to the
next lower gear. See figure 12.
NOTES
• Release the gear shift lever after each gear change.
• The lever must return to its central position before
another gear change can be made.
First gear is the last gear position that can be found by
pushing the gear shift lever full stroke downward.
Neutral is located between first and second gear. The green
neutral indicator lamp on the dash will illuminate when the
transmission is in neutral.
To shift from first gear to neutral, lift the gear shift lever one
half of its full stroke.
When the motorcycle is standing still and the engine is not
running, shifting gears requires a different technique. Before
shifting in this condition, move the motorcycle backward and
forward with the clutch fully disengaged (clutch lever pulled
in). While maintaining slight pressure on the shift lever; shift
from one gear to another.
Even with the engine running and the motorcycle standing
still, difficulty may be experienced in shifting gears. This
difficulty occurs because transmission gears are not turning
and shifting parts are not lined up to permit engagement.
