Recommended Shift Points
Ride in the highest gear that lets the engine run and accelerate smoothly. This
will give you good fuel economy and effective emissions control. When
changing gears under normal conditions, use these recommended shift points:
12 mph (20 km/h)
19 mph (30 km/h)
25 mph (40 km/h)
31 mph (50 km/h)
22 mph (35 km/h)
16 mph (25 km/h)
From 1st to 2nd:
From 2nd to 3rd:
From 3rd to 4th:
From 4th to 5th:
From 5th to 4th:
From 4th to 3rd:
Pull the clutch lever in when speed drops below 9 mph (15 km/h), when engine
roughness is evident, or when engine stalling is imminent; and shift down to 1st
gear for acceleration.
While you are riding, occasionally check your gauge and indicators. Continuing
to ride with the low oil pressure indicator (red) on or the coolant temperature
gauge segment at the H (hot) mark can cause serious engine damage. Also keep
an eye on the fuel gauge.
