How to Ride the Motorcycle
Changing Gears
1.
Gear-change pedal
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.
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.
