Changing Gears
Warning
Take care to avoid opening the throttle
too far or too fast in any of the lower
gears as this can lead to the front
wheel lifting from the ground (pulling a
'wheelie') and to the rear tyre breaking
traction (wheel spin).
Always open the throttle cautiously,
particularly if you are unfamiliar with
the motorcycle, as a 'wheelie' or loss of
traction will cause loss of motorcycle
control and an accident.
Warning
Do not change to a lower gear at
speeds that will cause excessive
engine rpm (r/min).
This can lock the rear wheel causing
loss of control and an accident. Engine
damage may also be caused.
Changing down should be done such
that low engine speeds will be ensured.

1. Gear change pedal
To change gears:
• Close the throttle while pulling in the
clutch lever.
• Change into the next higher or
lower gear.
• Open the throttle part way, while
releasing the clutch lever. Always
use the clutch when changing gear.
Note
The gear change mechanism is the
'positive stop' type. This means that,
for each movement of the gear change
pedal, you can only select each gear,
one after the other, in ascending or
descending order.
