1. With the engine at idle speed and the clutch disengaged (clutch lever
depressed), step on the gear shift lever and push it downwards to shift
into 1
st
gear.
2. Gradually increase the engine speed and slowly release the clutch lever.
These two actions must be coordinated simultaneously to ensure a
smooth take off.
3. When the motorcycle reaches the appropriate speed, reduce the throttle
and depress the clutch simultaneously, lift the gearshift lever upwards
with your toe to shift into 2
nd
gear. Slowly release the clutch whilst
simultaneously increasing the engine speed.
4. Repeat this process from shifting up into higher gears or downwards into
lower gears.
1. Avoid unnecessary engine idling.
2. Riding with the clutch partially depressed will cause excessive clutch wear.
3. When decreasing speed or riding up an incline, shift to a lower gear in order that you do not place the engine under
excessive load.
1. As you increase you speed of travel, the braking distance must be lengthened accordingly. Always maintain enough
distance between you and the vehicle in front of you to allow sufficient distance for safe braking.
2. It is very dangerous to use the front brake and the rear brake separately (independently). Doing so can cause the
wheels to skid and loss of control. Take extra care when braking on wet or smooth roads and in corners. A sudden
braking on uneven or smooth roads can cause the motorcycle to lose control.
