To shift gear, turn off the gas, pull the lever fully and
engage the next gear; gently let go of the clutch lever and
accelerate at the same time.
The gearbox shift pedal should be activated decisively
with your foot.

and gas turn off control on the handlebar. This will avoid
having the engine run at runaway speed rates when
the clutch control lever is released.
