It is recommended to down-shift from a higher gear to a lower gear:
•
When riding downhill and under braking, using engine compression to in-
crease braking power.
•
When going uphill, when the engaged gear does not suit the speed (high
gear, moderate speed) and the number of engine revs falls.
CAUTION
DOWN-SHIFT ONE GEAR AT A TIME; WHEN SHIFTING TO A LOWER GEAR,
DOWN-SHIFTING MORE THAN ONE GEAR AT A TIME COULD OVER-REV THE
ENGINE; THAT IS, THE MAXIMUM RPM VALUE PERMITTED FOR THE ENGINE
COULD BE EXCEEDED.
