OPERATION
Shifting Gears
The clutch must be fully disengaged (clutch lever pulled completely in toward the handlebars)
before you attempt to shift gears. Forced shifting (shifting without the clutch disengaged) may
damage the engine, transmission and drive train, causing loss of control of the motorcycle.
WARNING
The motorcycle is equipped with a five-speed transmission. The
gear pattern is shown in the illustration to the right. The
motorcycle has a toe shift pedal which allows you to shift to a
higher gear by lifting the front of the pedal with your toe. To shift
to a lower gear, depress the pedal with your toe.
Neutral position is between first and second gear. The
transmission is in neutral when the motorcycle moves forward or
backward freely while the clutch is engaged (clutch lever
released). With the Ignition switch set to the ON position, the
neutral indicator illuminates when the transmission is in neutral.
