Using The Transmission; Riding On Hills - HYOSUNG Karion Owner's Manual

USING THE TRANSMISSION

The transmission is provided to keep the
engine operating smoothly in its normal
operating speed range. The gear ratios
have been carefully chosen to meet the
characteristics of the engine. The rider
should always select the most suitable gear
for the prevailing conditions.
WARNING
Downshifting when engine speed is too
high can ;
● ● cause the rear wheel to skid and lose
traction due to increased engine
braking, resulting in an accident ; or
● ● force the engine to overrev in the
lower gear, resulting in engine
damage.
Reduce speed before downshifting.

RIDING ON HILLS

When climbing steep hills, the motorcycle
may begin to slow down and show lack of
power. At this point you should shift to a
lower gear so that the engine will again be
operating in its normal power range. Shift
rapidly to prevent the motorcycle from
losing momentum.
When riding down a steep hill, the engine
may be used for braking by shifting to a
lower gear.
Be careful, however, not to allow the
engine to overrev.
