Operation
2. While the engine is idling, pull in the clutch lever and de-
press the gearshift pedal to shift into 1st (low) gear.
3. Slowly release the clutch lever and at the same time gra-
dually increase engine speed by opening the throttle. Coor-
dination of the throttle and clutch lever will assure a smooth
positive start.
4. When the motorcycle attains a moderate speed, close the
throttle, pull in the clutch lever and shift to 2nd gear by rai-
sing the gearshift pedal. This sequence is repeated to progre-
ssive ly shift to 3rd, 4thand 5th (top) gears.
5. Raise the pedal to shift to a higher gear and depress the pe-
dal to shift to a lower gear. Each stroke of the pedal engages
the next gear in sequence. The pedal automatically returns to
the horizontal position when released.
Do not downshift when traveling at a speed that would force
the engine to overrev in the next lower gear; the rear wheel
may lose traction, resulting in a possible loss of vehicle con-
trol.
