Shifting Gears
Basic Operation & Riding
With the transmission in neutral, release the parking brake, but
continue squeezing the rear brake lever.
Release the rear brake lever and increase engine speed by gradually
opening the throttle.
Learning when to shift gears comes with experience. Keep the following
tips in mind:
As a general rule, shift while moving in a straight line.
Close the throttle completely before shifting. Improper shifting may
damage the engine, transmission, and drive train.
Upshift to a higher gear or reduce throttle before engine rpm (speed)
gets too high. Learn the relationship between engine sound and the
normal shifting points.
Downshift to a lower gear before you feel the engine laboring
(lugging) at low rpm.
Avoid downshifting to help slow your ATV when engine rpm is high.
Downshifting when engine speed is near its allowable maximum may
over-rev the engine and possibly cause damage.
To prevent transmission damage, do not coast or tow the ATV for
long distances with the engine off.
With the throttle closed, raise the shift lever one full stroke to shift
into 1st (first) gear.
To downshift, reverse this sequence. Remember to close the throttle
each time you shift to the next lower gear.
After starting the engine and letting it warm up, follow these
procedures:
When speed increases, release the throttle and shift to 2nd gear by
raising the shift lever one full stroke.
Repeat this sequence to progressively upshift to 3rd, 4th and 5th (top)
gear.
Ride in the highest gear that lets the engine run and accelerate smoothly.
This will give you good fuel economy and effective emissions control.
