Using the transmission
The transmission is provided to keep the engine to run
smoothly in its normal operating speed range.
The gear ratios have been carefully chosen to meet
the characteristics of the engine.
The rider should always select the most suitable gear
to achieve the necessary speed and pulling power
smoothly.
Riding on hills/gradients
When climbing steep hills, the motorcycle may begin
to slow down and show lack of power. At this point
the rider should shift to a lower gear so that the engine
will again be operating in its normal power range. Shift
gears rapidly to prevent the motorcycle from losing
momentum.
When riding down a hill, the engine may be used as
brake by shifting to a lower gear.
Reduce speed to a safe limit before turning/cornering.
Do not apply brake while turning/cornering. Do not
disengage clutch before braking.
Since the engine and exhaust system becomes very
hot, make sure to park the vehicle in a place where
pedestrians or children are not likely to touch the hot
surface.
Do not park near dry grass or any other flammable
resources which might catch fire.
Warning
