Riding and changing gear

Engine speed
Limit engine speed in accor-
dance with engine temperature,
using the highest engine
speeds only when the engine
has reached its regular operat-
ing temperature.
When the tachometer needle
enters the red zone on the dial,
the fuel supply is interrupted in
order to protect the engine
against overspeeding.
The governor cuts in at
7,900 rpm.
Load changes
Try not to open or close the
throttle abruptly, particularly on
wet or slippery roads.
Gear shifts
Never slip the clutch excessively
when changing gear. Vary your
speed only by using the throttle in
a suitable gear, not by slipping the
clutch.
The digital gear indicator in the
Rider Information Display
shows which gear has been
selected (
74).
