Points for Attention during Drive
1. 1. To warm the engine let engine idle. Do not rev the engine to prevent
damage to the engine components.
2. The clutch will wear out quickly if the dirt bike is operated with the clutch in
a semi-engaged position.
3. Shift to the low speed gears when you feel that there is insufficient power
to climb hills or continue forward.
4. Do not use the front brake only or coast using the neutral gear especially
when descending or driving at a high speed.
5. Decrease the throttle when braking.
