GEARSHIFT LEVER

This motorcycle has 6-speed transmission
which operates as shown. To shift properly,
squeeze the clutch lever and close the throt-
tle at the same time you operate the gear-
shift lever. Lift the front end of the lever or
depress the rear end of the lever to up shift
and depress the front end of the lever to
downshift. Neutral is located between 1st
and 2nd gear. When neutral is desired,
depress the front or rear end of the lever
halfway between 1st and 2nd gear.
NOTE: When the transmission is in neutral,
the green indicator light on the instrument
panel will be lit. However, even though the
light is illuminated, cautiously release the
clutch lever slowly to confirm the transmis-
sion is in neutral.
Reduce the motorcycle speed before down-
shifting. When down-shifting, the engine
speed should be increased before the clutch
is engaged. This will prevent unnecessary
wear on the drive train components and the
rear tire.
