Recommended Shift Points
To prevent transmission damage, do not
coast or tow the motorcycle for long
distances with the engine off.
Avoid downshifting to help slow your
motorcycle when engine rpm is high.
Downshifting when engine speed is
near its allowable maximum may over-
rev the engine and cause possible
damage.
Downshift to a lower gear before you
feel the engine laboring (lugging) at
low rpm.
