How to Ride the Motorcycle

To shift gears:
• 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.
• The gear shift mechanism is the
positive stop type. This means that,
for each movement of the gear
shift pedal, you can only select
each gear, one after the other, in
ascending or descending order.

All motorcycle models are equipped with
a partially integrated braking system,
combined with the Anti-lock Braking
System (ABS).
The partially integrated braking system
is designed to increase the braking
efficiency of the rider.
When the rider applies the front brake,
a small amount of rear brake is also
applied, allowing for balanced braking.
The amount of rear brake application is
related to the level of braking force
applied by the rider through the front
brake lever.
