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 heel-toe shift pedal which allows you to shift to
a higher gear by depressing the rear of the pedal with your heel or
by lifting the front of the pedal with your toe. To shift to a lower
gear, depress the front of 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. With the Ignition
switch set to the ON position, the neutral indicator illuminates
when the transmission is in neutral.
