Moving off
1) Disengage the clutch by squeezing the clutch lever.
2) Push down the gearchange lever firmly with the tip of
your foot to engage first gear.
3) Raise the engine revs by turning the throttle twistgrip
while gradually releasing the clutch lever. The motorcycle
will start moving.
4) Release the clutch lever completely and accelerate.
5) To change to second gear, close the throttle to reduce
the engine revs, disengage the clutch, lift the gearchange
lever and release the clutch lever.
To change down, proceed as follows: release the twistgrip,
disengage the clutch, briefly accelerate the engine to allow
the gears to synchronize, shift down and release the clutch.
Use the controls intelligently and opportunely: when riding
uphill, change down immediately when the motorcycle
begins to slow down, to avoid abnormal stresses on the
motorcycle structure as well as on the engine.
Important
Avoid sudden acceleration, as this may lead to
misfiring and transmission snatching. The clutch lever should
not be held in longer than necessary after a gear is engaged,
otherwise friction parts may overheat and wear out.
