OPERATION
3. Push the start/reverse button and guide the motorcycle
backward cautiously.
CAUTION:
• Do not push the start/reverse button more than a minute to
prevent battery discharge.
4. Release the start/reverse button, and the motorcycle will
stop.
5.
After stopping the motorcycle, disengage the reverse lever,
and make sure the reverse gear indicator goes off and the
neutral indicator comes on.
CAUTION:
• Do not engage or disengage reverse when the motorcycle is
moving or the reverse gears could be damaged.
NOTE:
• If the reverse lever is moved to the reverse position with the
engine off, the engine cannot be started.
Reverse System Overload:
The reverse system is designed to move the motorcycle at a
constant slow speed. If the motorcycle begins moving slower
or faster than this speed, due to obstacles or steep pavement
angle, the system will shut off (reverse system indicator OFF).
To resume reverse operation or normal forward operation,
move the reverse lever to the disengaged position and careful-
ly roll the motorcycle to a more-level unobstructed surface,
then start again.
