How to Ride Your Bike
Moving Off :
•
Start the bike.
•
Check that Center/Side stand is retracted.
•
Depress the clutch lever.
•
Shift the gear pedal into 1 gear.
•
Open the throttle gradually and simultaneously
release the clutch lever slowly.
•
As the clutch starts to engage, open the throttle
a little more, giving the engine just enough rpm
to keep it from stalling.
Shifting Gears :
•
Close throttle & pull in the clutch lever.
•
Shift into next higher or lower gear as
desired.
•
Open the throttle and release the clutch lever
slowly and simultaneously.

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 condition.
•
When stopping, always apply both brakes at
the same time. De-clutch as necessary to
avoid engine stalling.
