Make sure the side stand is fully retracted
before riding the motorcycle. If the stand is
extended, it may interfere with control during
a left turn.
Make sure you understand the function of the
side stand mechanism. (See MAINTENANCE

1. After the engine has been warmed up, the
motorcycle is ready for riding.
2. While the engine is idling, pull in the clutch
lever and depress the gearshift pedal to
shift into 1st (low) gear.
3. Slowly release the clutch lever and at the
same time gradually increase engine speed
by opening the throttle. Coordination of
the throttle and clutch lever will assure a
smooth positive start.

speed, close the throttle, pull in the clutch
lever and shift to 2nd gear by raising the
gearshift pedal.
This sequence is repeated to progressively
shift to 3rd, 4th and 5th(top) gear.
