Shifting Gears
1. Gear shift 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 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.
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.
