Accelerating
To accelerate, open the throttle (roll the throttle control grip toward you). For even
acceleration, open the throttle with a smooth, continuous motion.
When you reach the recommended speed for upshifting, shift up one gear in accordance
with the instructions for shifting gears. See "Shifting Gears (Upshifting)" on page 116. The
more quickly you open the throttle, the more quickly the motorcycle accelerates.
WARNING
Abrupt acceleration can cause your body to shift suddenly toward the rear of the
motorcycle.
Accelerating abruptly on wet, rough, loose, or slippery surfaces may cause the rear wheel
to lose traction. When accelerating on such surfaces, whether you are at a stop or already
in motion, open the throttle gradually.
