Always keep both hands on th handlebars and both feet on the footrests of your motorcycle during operation. CAUTION Operation of the carburetor choke system is not necessary when the engine is warm. WARNING Running the engine indoors or in a garage can be hazardous. Exhaust gas contains carbon monoxide, a gas that is colorless and odorless and can cause death or severe injury. Only run the engine outdoors where there is a fresh air. WARNING Sudden side winds, which can occur when being passed by large vehicles, at tunnel exits or in hilly areas, can upset your control. Reduce your speed and be alert to side winds. 20 After moving the side stand to the fully upper position, pull the clutch lever in and pause momentarily. Turn the throttle grip toward you and at the same time release the clutch lever gently and smoothly. To shift to the next higher gear, accelerate gently, then close the throttle and pull the clutch lever in simultaneously. Lift the gearshift lever upward to select the next gear and release the clutch lever and open the throttle again. Select the gears in this manner until fifth gear is reached. RIDING ON HILLS 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. 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. USING THE TRANSMISSION The transmission is provided to keep the engine operating 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 for the prevailing conditions. STOPPING AND PARKING 1. Turn the throttle grip away from you to close the throttle completely. 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. WARNING Downshifting when engine speed is too high can ; cause the rear wheel to skid and lose traction due to increased engine braking, resulting in an accident ; or force the engine to overrev in the lower gear, resulting in engine damage. Reduce speed before downshifting. WARNING Inexperienced riders tend to underutilize the front brake. Using only the front or rear brake can cause skidding and loss of control. Apply both brakes evenly and at the same time. WARNING Downshifting while the motorcycle is leaned over in a corner may cause rear wheel skid and loss of control.
