Shifting/Riding
You are now in first gear, referred to as the drive or uphill gear. Depending
on the conditions (traffic, hill size, etc.), you can shift to a higher gear. Turn
down the throttle, at the same time pull the clutch lever in and shift to the
next higher gear. Let the clutch lever go again and open the throttle. If you
turned on the choke, make sure you turn it off again as soon as engine is
warm.
When you reach full speed through opening the throttle all the way, turn
throttle back to
3
/
4
; the speed hardly decreases although the engine will use
less gas. Only give as much gas as the engine can handle. Through quick
and high revving of throttle, the gas consumption will increase. When shif-
ting down, use the brakes if necessary and turn down at the same time. Pull
the clutch lever and shift down to the next lower gear. Let the clutch lever
go slowly and open the throttle or shift down again.
