Riding on hills / gradients
When climbing steep hills, the motorcycle may begin
to slow down and show lack of power. At this point
you should shift to a lower gear so that the engine
will again be operating in its normal power range.
Shift gears rapidly to prevent the motorcycle from
losing momentum.
When riding down a hill, the engine may be used as
braking by shifting to a lower gear.
Stopping and parking
1. Close the throttle completely and apply both the
brakes simultaneously.
2. Down shift the gears as the road speed
decreases. Bring the engine to neutral position
just before the vehicle stops.
3. Turn the ignition 'OFF'.
4. Park the vehicle on a firm, flat surface.
5. Lock the steering.
Ensure to maintain sufficient amount of fuel while riding
the vehicle in up or down gradient.

Reduce speed to a safe limit before turning / cornering.
Do not apply brake while turning / cornering. Do not
disengage clutch before braking.
Since the engine and exhaust system becomes very
hot, make sure to park the vehicle in a place where
the pedestrians or children are not likely to touch the
hot surface. Do not park near dry grass or any other
flammable resources which might catch fire.
To avoid deterioration of paint gloss due to ultra violet
rays and heat of sunlight, always park your motorcycle in
a covered parking.
