Shifting
Shifting gears lets you control the
amount of engine power available for
starting off, accelerating, climbing hills,
etc.
The gear positions are shown in the il-
lustration.
For speedy upshifts, turn on the quick
shift system. See QSS on page 5-17 for
more information.
ECA22520
Even with the transmission in
the neutral position, do not
coast for long periods of time
with the engine off, and do not
tow the motorcycle for long dis-
tances. The transmission is
properly lubricated only when
the engine is running. Inade-
quate lubrication may damage
the transmission.
Except when upshifting with the
QSS turned on, always use the
clutch while changing gears to
avoid damaging the engine,
transmission, and drive train,
which are not designed to with-
stand the shock of forced shift-
ing.

lever slowly.
