How to Ride the Motorcycle
Changing Gears
1 Gear Change Pedal
Close the throttle while pulling
in the clutch lever. Change into
the next higher or lower gear.
Open the throttle part way,
while releasing the clutch lever.
Always use the clutch when
changing gear.
NOTE
• The gear change mechanism
is the 'positive stop' type.
This means that, for each
movement of the gear
change pedal, you can only
select each gear, one after
the other, in ascending or
descending order.

Warning
Take care to avoid opening the
throttle too far in any of the lower
gears as this can lead to the front
wheel lifting from the ground
(pulling a 'wheelie') and to the rear
tyre breaking traction (wheel
spin).
Always open the throttle
cautiously, particularly if you are
unfamiliar with the motorcycle, as
a `wheelie' or loss of traction will
cause loss of motorcycle control
and an accident.
Warning
Do not change to a lower gear at
speeds that will cause excessive
engine rpm (r/min). This can lock
the rear wheel causing loss of
control and an accident. Engine
damage may also be caused.
Changing down should be done
such that low engine speeds will
be ensured.
