Driving … What Should Be Avoided &#X85 - JAWA F 350/634-5,8 Owner's Handbook Manual

D. DRIVING
a) Depress the clutch lever with your left hand, and depress the gear lever (pushing down). Then slowly release
the clutch lever with opening the throttle gradually. Pull away immediately, never stand with the gear
engaged and the clutch released for a proloned period. This applies also when wasiting on crossings. A
prolonged slipping of the clutch leads to over heating and premature wear of the clutch plates.
After having attained a speed of 15 km/hr (10 m.), declutch, close the throttle, and shift into the second gear by
lifting the gear shift lever. Change up into the following gears in the same manner. For changing down,
depressing the gear shift lever with the toe of the shoe with declutching.
Remember, that there is the neutral position between the 1

shifting the gear shift lever halfway of its usual travel.
b) When slowing down to a stop, change down successively to the neutral between the 1
and then apply both the rear and the front brake till the machine stops. Apply the front brake carefully and
only when driving in a straight direction to prevent skidding of the front wheel.
After having finished the drive, close the fuel cock, withdraw the ignition key and lock the steering to prevent
other persons from using your machine.
5. WHAT SHOULD BE AVOIDED
Never leave the motor cycle standing with the ignition switched on as this would result in discharging of the
battery and, eventually, to serious damage of the ignition coil.
The engine is badly affected by running at high r.p.m. with the machine at a standstill since it not cooled as when
driving. Do not keep the clutch disengaged for a prolonged period as this would result in premature wear of the
clutch plate lining.
Never let the clutch slip to assist the engine when driving uphill but change down in good time. Do not drive an
unnecessarily long period in low gear. When driving downhill with the engine stopped, (which is altogether a
bad practice) restart it by using the kickstarter lever to avoid damage to the gearbox. It is very important to
change up and down in time in accordance with the driving conditions. Driving at low r.p.m. with a jerking
engine or overloading of the engine is harmful to its parts.
