NOTE
The shifting speeds shown in the tables are a recommen-
dation. Vehicle owners may determine that individual
shifting habits differ from those stated and remain ap-
propriate for individual riding styles.
See Figure 32. When engine speed decreases, as in
climbing a hill or running at reduced speed, shift to the
next lower gear while partially closing the throttle so the
engine accelerates as soon as the clutch lever is released.
NOTES
 Disengage the clutch completely before each gear
change.
 Partially close the throttle so the engine will not
drag when clutch is again engaged (clutch lever is
released.).
Shift to neutral before stopping engine. Shifting
mechanism can be damaged by shifting gears while
engine is stopped.
The gear shift mechanism permits shifting the transmis-
sion to neutral from first gear.
