Gear Shifting Sequence
WARNING : When shifting down to lower gear, do
not shift at such a high speed that the engine rpm
rises excessively and which may cause the rear
wheel to skid.
Braking :
• Close the throttle completely, leaving the clutch
engaged (except where shifting gears) so that the
engine braking will help slow down the motorcycle.
• Shift down one gear at a time so that you are in
Neutral when you come to a complete stop.
• Never lock the brakes, or it will cause the tyres to
skid. When cornering, use brakes judiciously and do
not de-clutch. Reduce your speed before you get
into the corner. For emergency braking, disregard
downshifting, and concentrate on applying the
brakes as hard as possible without skidding.
