TO DECREASE SPEED
The throttle is spring loaded and should
return to idle when you release your
grip.
NOTE: This vehicle is equipped with
an ETC (Electronic Throttle Control).
The throttle plates in the throttle body
are controlled electronically and can be
opened (The VSS can never acceler-
ate the vehicle. All it can do is to open
the throttle slightly to decrease the
amount of engine braking on slippery
surfaces. This prevents the rear tire
from slipping because of engine brak-
ing or abrupt downshifts.) or closed
irrespective of the throttle twist grip
position when necessary. It may hap-
pen that when you accelerate, the VSS
(Vehicle Stability System) prevents en-
gine acceleration in order to maintain
vehicle stability. Then, when the vehi-
cle is stabilized, the engine RPM would
increase as requested if the throttle
was maintained. This would be felt as
a "delayed" acceleration.
3) Clutch Lever
(SM6 Model)
The clutch lever is in front of the left
handgrip. The clutch controls the
transmission of power from the en-
gine to the rear wheel. The lever is
squeezed in to disengage power and
eased out to engage power.
