Changing down into
a lower gear
Before the engine starts to labour on steep grades, change down
to a lower gear. Disengage the clutch, open the throttle control
(smoothly, according to speed), turn the gear control twist–grip to
the lower gear, and let in the clutch gently. Gear–changing will
become second nature when you have had a little practice.
Applying the brakes
Take care when braking. Please remember that pulling–up
suddenly and jamming on the brakes may cause skidding. The
brakes should always be applied smoothly and progressively.
Locking of the wheels should be avoided. Use both brakes
together if possible. Your TOURIST four–stroke engine, in contrast
to a two–stroke engine, will take over a large part of the braking
on long descents. Always use the same gear for going downhill
as you would use for going uphill, and on the long descents use
front and rear brakes alternately so as to avoid overheating.
To stop
Slow the scooter down by closing the throttle, disengage the
clutch and move gear control to neutral. Never stop with gear
engaged. Remove ignition key and turn off fuel top when stopping
for some time.
