How to Ride the Motorcycle
Moving Off
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.
Shifting Gears
1. Gearshift pedal
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. Always
use the clutch when shifting gear.
Note:
•
The gearshift mechanism is the
'positive stop' type. This means
that, for each movement of the
gearshift 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 tire 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 shift 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. Shifting down should
be done such that low engine speeds will
be ensured.
