Do not shift gears without relesing the
throttle. Damage to the engine or drive
train may occur.
Avoid lifting the front wheels off the ground
or making the machine "wheelie." Loss
of directional control, overturning, or an
accident may occur.
When slowing down or stopping, release the
throttle and apply the brakes smoothly and
evenly. As you slow down, shift to a lower
gear. Be sure that the engine has sufficiently
slowed before engaging a lower gear. Improper
use of the brakes or shifting can cause the tires
to lose traction, reducing control and increas-
ing the possibility of an accident.
