• Press the gear shift pedal downwards with the tip
of your foot to engage the first gear.
• Increase the engine speed by turning the throttle

lever; the motor cycle start moving forward.
• Release the clutch lever and increase the engine
speed (increase the throttle).
• To up shift the gear, close the throttle to slow
down the engine speed, disengage the clutch,
lift the gear shift pedal up and release the clutch
lever.
- To down shift the gear, proceed as follows:
release the throttle twist grip, pull the clutch
lever, increase the engine speed for a moment
to allow the gears to synchronise, down shift the

- Use controls wisely and promptly: when riding
uphill do not hesitate to down shift the gears as
soon as the vehicle tends to slow down. This
will avoid stressing the vehicle and the engine
abnormally.
