HOW TO RIDE THE MOTORCYCLE, CON’T.
CLUTCH/CHANGING GEARS
1. Check that the side stand is up.
2. Pull in the clutch lever.
3. Shift down into 1st gear.
4. Open the the throttle a little and start to let out the clutch lever
slowly.
5. As the clutch starts to engage you will feel the motor begin to pull.
6. Gradually open the throttle a bit more, giving the engine just
enough fuel to keep it from stalling.
7. The operation is the same in all gears:
•
Close the throttle while pulling in the clutch lever.
•
Shift into the next higher or lower gear.
•
Open the throttle part way while releasing the clutch lever.
8. When going up steep slopes, shift to a lower gear so that more of
the engine’s power is available, rather than overloading or “lugging”
the engine.
9. If quick acceleration for passing is necessary, shift to a lower gear to
gain the additional power.
WARNING: Downshifting to a lower gear at high speed causes
engine rpm to increase excessively and may damage the engine. It
may also cause the rear wheel to to lock potentially causing loss of
control and an accident. Downshifting should only be performed
at moderate engine speeds for each gear.
NOTE: During the break-in period the transmission and clutch
plates may take some time to wear in. Be careful to make sure the
transmission is in neutral by gently letting out on the clutch, as
the neutral indicator light may occasionally signal a false neutral
during break-in. After the break-in period, the transmission will
break in and these issues will disappear.
BRAKING
1. Close the throttle completely, leaving the clutch engaged (except
when shifting gears) to allow the engine to help slow the motorcycle.
2. Shift down 1 gear at a time so that the motorcycle is in 1st gear
when you come to a complete stop. This will allow you to more
easily select 1st gear, and will enable you to move off without
fumbling for 1st gear.
3. Braking during cornering is to be avoided. Apply brakes and reduce
speed before entering a turn.
4. When descending long, steep slopes control the motorcycle’s speed
by downshifting and using the engine as a brake. Continuous brake
application can overheat the brakes and reduce their effectiveness.
By using the front and rear brakes for auxiliary braking, they can be
kept from overheating on long descents.
