Shifting Gears
Basic Operating Instructions
15
Break-in Guidelines
1. After the engine has been warmed up, the
motorcycle is ready for riding.
2. While the engine is idling, pull in the clutch
lever and depress the shift lever to shift into 1st
(low) gear.
3. Slowly release the clutch lever and at the same
time gradually increase engine speed by
opening the throttle. Coordination of the
throttle and clutch lever will assure a smooth
positive start.
NOTICE
When moving off from a standing start, be careful
not to use too much throttle. The motorcycle may
“wheelie” over backwards.
4. When the motorcycle attains a moderate speed,
close the throttle, pull in the clutch lever and
shift to 2nd gear by raising the shift lever.
5. This sequence is repeated to progressively shift
to 3rd, 4th, 5th (top) gear. Raise the shift lever
to shift to a higher gear and depress it to
downshift. Each stroke of the shift lever
engages the next gear in sequence. The shift
lever automatically returns to the horizontal
position when released.
NOTICE
Improper shifting may damage the engine,
transmission, and drive train.
NOTICE
Downshifting can help slow your motorcycle,
especially on downhills. However, downshifting
when engine rpm is too high can cause engine
damage.
NOTICE
To prevent transmission damage, do not coast or
tow the motorcycle for long distances with the
engine off.
