Shifting Gears
WARNING
Forced shifting (without clutch lever pulled
in) could cause damage to the engine, transmission and drive train.
Such damage could cause loss of control, which could result in serious
injury or death. Always pull the clutch lever fully toward the handlebars
to disengage the clutch before shifting gears.
This motorcycle is equipped with a six-speed transmission. Neutral
is located between first and second gear.
Press downward on the toe lever to shift to a lower gear. Lift
upward on the toe lever to shift to a higher gear. Release the clutch
lever after each gear shift.
Shifting to neutral is easiest if the motorcycle is rolling slowly.
To shift from first gear to neutral, gently lift the toe lever a half
stroke.
TIP
The transmission is in neutral if you can move the
motorcycle forward or rearward freely without disengaging the clutch.
If the power switch is ON, the neutral indicator illuminates when
the transmission is in neutral.
