OPERATION AND IMPORTANT RIDING POINTS

6-4

EAU01258

Starting a warm engine

Follow the same procedure as for start-

ing a cold engine with the exception

that the starter (choke) is not required

when the engine is warm.

EAU00423

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.

NOTE:

To shift the transmission into the neu-

tral position, press the shift pedal down

repeatedly until it reaches the end of its

travel, and then slightly raise it.

EC000048

CAUTION:

●

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.

●

Always use the clutch while

changing gears to avoid dam-

aging the engine, transmission,

and drive train, which are not

designed to withstand the

shock of forced shifting.
