When moving
uphill,
rate
your
actions
and the
motorcycle speed
so as
to
avoi
d
a
forced
stoppage.
If the
gr.ade is
low, s
peed
up the
motorcycle before
upgrading
in order to
pass
the
entire
grade or the
greater
part
of
it with the
high
gear
engaged.
In
case
the speed
sta rts
to
decrease noticeably during upgra
ding,
change over to a
low
gea
r. Avoid partial
disengagement
of the
dutch
in a
n
attempt
to
negoti
ate
the upgrade by increasing
ihe
engine speed
at
the
ex-
pense of
the
clutch
slipping.
This
method will lead
to
a r.apid wear
of the cl utch
components.
If
the
motorcycle
approaches
a
high upgrade
at a speed that
is
not
enoug
h
.to
over-come i-t,
engag•
e one
.
o
f
the low
gears
and do
not
cha nge
it until
the
upgr ade
is overcome.
If
the engine
dies
out
du-
ring upgrading,
actuate the front br.ake to
hold back
the
motorcycle,
start the engine, engage the first gear
and
at
the
same time release
the
brake
lever
and
clutch
operating
lever.
The
stretches
of dry qu icksand
or mellow
snow should
be
over-
come
with
the second
or
first gear
engaged, at
a
high
speed,
main-
t aining
a
consta.
n t
speed
of
the engine
and
rectilinear
motion.
When
passing
over the
san
d, avoid sharply turnin
g the
handlebar,
relea-
sing
the
clutch, shifting the
gears
and ab
rup
tly increasing
the
engi-
ne
speed.
This
may
cause 1fue rear
wheel
to s
lip
and
the
engin
e
to
stop.
When overcoming the
s tretches of thick
sticky dirt,
follow
the
same
procedune
as
when
crossing
the
quicksan d.
If
mu ch
dirt piles
up
under
the
fenders thus hinderi
ng
t.he rota
t ion of
the wheels, stop
the
mo
torcycle an
d
clean off
dirt.
The
moto
rcycle
stability is not
the
sam
e
at
the right- and
left-
hand
cornering. When
turning
to
the right,
i. e.
in
the direction
of
the side-car, the
motorcycle
loses more
of
its
stability and
is
mo re
5ubject to
overturning
than
when
t
urning
to
the
left.
It must
be
borne
in mind th
at
the
m aximum
permissible
angle
of
t he handlebar
turni.ng is dependent
on
the
motorcycle speed. As
the
t
ravelling
speed increases, t he
permissible angle
of turning
dimini-
shes.
T
he
handlebar
should be
tu
rned
gradua
lly, avoiding
jerks, es-
·peci
ally
when
turning
to
the
right.
Particular
caut
ion
should
be exercised
when travelling
under
poor
v is ibility
conditions
(at
night, in
a fog,
etc.).
When
using
the
motorcycle,
proper
a
ttention
should
be given
to
ihe
thermal
conditions
under
which
the
engine,
power
transmission
un its
and the running
gear
mechan
isms
operate.
If the
t
hermal
con
ditions
of the
engine
ar
e
norma

the
temp
eratu re of
the·
c.ylinder head
(under
the
spark
plug)
does not
exceed 200
°C in

ummer
time,
operation
due to
self-ign

is not obs:erved in
this case.
·
The normal
operation of
the
engine
is
evidenced
by
good
pick-

of
the motorcycle
and the absence of knocks in the crank gear.
