How to Ride the Motorcycle
86
Moving Off
To move the motorcycle:
• Pull in the clutch lever and select
first gear.
• Open the throttle a little and let out
the clutch lever slowly.
• As the clutch starts to engage, open
the throttle a little more, allowing
enough engine speed to avoid
stalling.
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.
