This motorcycle has a 5-speed transmission which
operates as shown. After a speed is chosen, the shift
lever will automatically return to its original position for
next gear shifting.
Reduce speed before down-shifting. When down-shifting,
the engine revs should be increased before the clutch is
engaged. This will prevent unnecessary wear on the drive
train components and the rear tire.

Before shifting, grasp the clutch handle firmly and
close throttle grip completely.
NOTE: When the transmission is in neutral the green
indicator N on the dashboard will be lit. However, even
though the indicator is lit, cautiously and slowly release
the clutch lever to make sure that the transmission is truly
in neutral.
