LOCATION OF COMPONENTS – OPERATION
WARNING
If knocking occurs, try a different brand of petrol or higher
octane grade.
DANGER
Always stop the engine and do not smoke. Gasoline is extremely
flammable and can be explosive under certain conditions. Make
sure the area is well ventilated and free from any source of
flame or sparks; this includes any appliance with a pilot light.
THROTTLE CONTROL
Moving the control
A
to the left will close the throttle and restrict
the flow of air in the carburettor jet. While the control
A
remains in
this position, the air/fuel mixture is enriched and this will facilitate
cold starting. See also "Starting a cold engine".
GEARBOX
The motorcycle has 5 gears. It is a sequential gearbox, which
means that in order to reach third gear from first gear, second
gear must first be engaged, that is, the gears go up or down
gear by gear.
To engage the first gear from neutral, press on the clutch,
press the gearshift pedal all the way down then release the
clutch slowly.
Neutral is located between first gear and second gear.
WARNING
To ensure correct gear engagement, operate the gearshift pedal
firmly so that the transition is complete.
Incomplete or erratic insertion of gears could cause damage to
the transmission system. Accident risk!
