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 six-speed transmission. The

sixth gear is overdrive.
TOE SHIFT PEDAL: 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.
