Shifting Gears

UPSHIFTING SEQUENCE
DOWNSHIFTING SEQUENCE
Your ATV has five forward gears (1, 2, 3, 4 and 5). To shift the
transmission, pull in the clutch lever/parking brake lever, then
operate the shift lever as follows.
The shift lever is located near the left footpeg. One full stroke of the
shift lever shifts the transmission to the next higher or lower gear in
the shifting sequence. The shift lever automatically returns to the
horizontal position when released.
To upshift to a higher gear, put the toe of your boot under the shift
lever and raise it one full stroke. To downshift, step on the shift lever
and depress it one full stroke.
To select reverse, use the reverse assist lever (page 54).
After starting the engine and letting it warm up, follow these
procedures:
1. With the transmission in neutral, push and hold down the rear
brake pedal. Release the clutch lever/parking brake lever
(page 23).
2. While the engine is idling, pull in the clutch lever/parking brake
lever and raise the shift lever to shift into 1st gear.
