Shifting Gears
WARNING!
Forced shifting (with clutch engaged) could cause damage to the engine, transmission
and drive train. Such damage could cause loss of control, which could result in serious injury or death.
Always pull the clutch lever fully toward the handlebars to disengage the clutch before shifting gears.
This motorcycle is equipped with a
six-speed transmission. The sixth gear
is overdrive. Neutral is located
between first and second gear.
Tip:
The transmission is in neutral if you
can move the motorcycle forward or
rearward freely without disengaging
the clutch. If the ignition switch is in
the ON position, the neutral indicator
illuminates when the transmission is in
neutral.
