NOTE: When the transmission is in neutral,
the green indicator light on the instrument
panel will be lit. However, even though the
light is illuminated, cautiously release the
clutch lever slowly to make sure that the
transmission is positively in neutral.
Reduce the motorcycle speed before down-
shifting. When down-shifting, the engine
speed should be increased before the clutch
is engaged. This will prevent unnecessary
wear on the drive train components and the
rear tire.
REAR BRAKE PEDAL
Depressing the rear brake pedal will apply
the rear brake. The brake light will be lit
when the rear brake is operated.
