Gearshift Lever - Suzuki VZ1500 Owner's Manual

GEARSHIFT LEVER

This motorcycle has a 5-speed trans-
mission which operates as shown. To
shift properly, pull the clutch lever and
close the throttle at the same time you
operate the gearshift lever. Lift the front
end of the gear shift lever to upshift.
Depress the front end of the gearshift
lever to downshift. Neutral is located
between 1st and 2nd gear. When neu-
tral is desired, depress or lift 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 lit, cautiously
and slowly release the clutch lever to
make sure that the transmission is posi-
tively in neutral.
