When climbing steep hills, the motorcycle
may begin to slow down and show lack of
power. At this point, you should shift to a
lower gear so that the engine will again be
operating in its normal power range. Shift
gear rapidly to prevent the motorcycle from
losing momentum.
When riding down a steep hill, the engine
may be used for braking by shifting to a
lower gear.
Be careful, however, not to allow the
engine to overrev.
RIDING ON HILLS
STOPPING AND PARKING
1. Turn the throttle grip away from you to
close the throttle completely.
2. Apply the front and rear brakes evenly at
the same time.
3. Downshift through the gears as road
speed decreases.
4. Select neutral with the clutch lever
squeezed towards the grip (disengaged
position) just before the motorcycle
stops. Neutral position can be confirmed
by observing the neutral indicator lamp.
Inexperienced riders tend to underutilize
the front brake. This can cause exces-
sive stopping distance and lead to a col-
lision. Using only the front or rear brake
can cause skidding and loss of control.
Apply both brakes evenly at the same
time.
Hard braking on wet, loose, rough, or
other slippery surfaces can cause wheel
skid and loss of control.
Brake lightly and carefully on slippery or
irregular surfaces.
Hard braking while turning may cause
wheel skid and loss of control.
Brake before you begin to turn.
Operating this motorcycle on steep hills
can be hazardous.
Never operate this motorcycle on steep
hills for this motorcycle.
