To shift gears, turn the throttle grip to
the SLOW position; then move the
gearshift lever to select the F
(forward), N (neutral), or R (reverse)
gears.
Turn the knob counterclockwise to
decrease friction for easy grip
rotation.
Turn the knob clockwise to increase
throttle grip friction for holding a
constant speed.
Use the throttle friction knob to help
hold a constant throttle setting while
cruising.
The engine can be started with the
gearshift lever in the N (neutral)
position only.
The throttle grip can be turned to the
FAST position only when the
gearshift lever is in the F (forward)
position.
