GEARSHIFT LEVER

To shift gears, turn the throttle grip to
the SLOW position, then move the
gearshift lever to select F (forward),
N (neutral) or R (reverse) gears.

The engine can be started with the
gearshift lever in the N (neutral)
position only.

The throttle grip can be turned to the
FAST position only when the
gearshift lever is in the F (forward)
position.

The gearshift mechanism limits
throttle grip movement when the
gearshift lever is in the R (reverse) or
N (neutral) position.

Use the throttle friction knob to help
hold a constant throttle setting while
cruising.

Turn the knob clockwise to increase
throttle grip friction for holding a
constant speed.

Turn the dial counterclockwise to
decrease friction for easy grip
rotation.
