–
Shift into a higher gear when conditions allow (incline, road
situation, etc.).
–
Release throttle while simultaneously pulling the clutch lever,
shift into the next gear, release the clutch lever, and open the
throttle.
Info
The gear positions can be seen in the figure. The idle
position is between the first and second gears. First
gear is used for starting off or for steep inclines.
–
After reaching maximum speed by fully opening the throttle
grip, turn the throttle back so it is ¾ open. This will barely
reduce the speed, but fuel consumption will be considerably
lower.
