Shifting
The
transmission
lets
you
control
the
amount
of
power you have
available at
a
given
speed
for starting,
accelerating,
climbing
hills,
etc.
The
use
of
the
shift
pedal
is
shown
in
the
illustration.
To
shift
into neutral,
depress
the
shift
pedal repeatedly
until
it
reaches the
end
of
its
travel,
then raise
the pedal
slightly.
Do
not coast
for
long periods
with the engine
off,
and do
not
tow
the motorcycle a long
dis-
tance.
Even
with gears
in
neu-
tral,
the transmission
is
only
properly
lubricated
when
the
engine
is
running. Inadequate
lubrication
may damage
the
transmission.
Always use
the clutch
when
changing
gears.
The
engine,
transmission,
and
driveline are
not
designed
to
withstand the
shock
of
forced
shifting
and
can be
damaged
by
shifting
without using the
clutch.
