To engage the second gear:
Proceed quickly.
Never ride the vehicle at too low
rpm.
◆
Release the throttle grip (2) (
Pos. A
),
pull the clutch lever (3) and lift the shift-
ing lever (4). Release the clutch lever (3)
and accelerate.
◆
Repeat the last two operations and shift
up.
The downshifting should be carried out in
the following situations:
◆
When riding downhill or when braking, in
order to increase the braking action by
using the compression of the engine.
◆
When riding uphill, if the gear engaged is
not suitable to the speed (high gear,
moderate speed) and the engine rpm de-
creases.
Shift the gears one by one; the
simultaneous downshifting of
more than one gear may make
you exceed the maximum rpm (red line).
Before and during the downshifting, re-
lease the throttle grip and decelerate, in
order to avoid the "red line".
To shift down, proceed as follows:
◆
Release the throttle grip (2) (
Pos. A
).
◆
If necessary, pull the brake levers mod-
erately and decrease the speed of the
vehicle.
◆
Pull the clutch lever (3) and lower the
shifting lever (4) to shift down.
◆
If the brake levers are pulled, release
them.
◆
Release the clutch lever and accelerate
moderately.
If the 2 stroke oil reserve warn-
ing light "
j" comes on while
the engine is running, this
means that the 2 stroke oil reserve is
being used; in this case, top up the 2
stroke oil tank, see p. 21 (2 STROKE OIL
TANK).
If the coolant overheating
warning light “
h” comes on,
stop the engine and check the
coolant level, see p. 28 (COOLANT).
