RIDING ON HILLS
• When climbing steep hills, the
motorcycle may begin to slow down
and show lack of power. At this point
you should shift to a lower gear so
that the engine will again be operat-
ing in its normal power range. Shift
rapidly to prevent the motorcycle
from losing momentum.
• When riding down a steep hill, the
engine may be used for braking by
shifting to a lower gear.
• Be careful, however, not to allow the
engine to overrev.

WARNING
Downshifting while the motorcycle is
leaned over in a corner may cause
rear wheel skid and loss of control.
Reduce your speed and downshift
before entering a corner.
NOTICE
Improper gearshift lever operation
can damage the transmission.
• Do not rest your foot on the gear-
shift lever.
• Do not use force to shift gears.
