GEAR SHIFTING, RIDING AND STOPPING

rough start or stalling of the engine besides causing damage to transmission parts.

GEAR SHIFT PATTERN
1 -- N -- 2 -- 3 -- 4 -- 5 -- 6
 It is recommended to use half clutch condition when commuting in the city traffic condition alone (Engine RPM close
to idling) at 1st gear condition. In other gears and higher RPM avoid using half clutch which will proportionately reduce
the clutch life. During acceleration / deceleration disengage the clutch completely, shift the gear and engage the
clutch gradually (Not too slowly).
