– When conditions allow (incline, road situation, etc.), you can shift into a higher gear.
– Release the throttle while simultaneously pulling the clutch lever, shift into the next
gear, release the clutch and open the throttle.
Info
For the positions of the 6 forward gears, see the illustration. The neutral or idle
position is between the first and second gears. First gear is used for starting off
or for steep inclines.
The operating temperature is reached when 5 bars of the temperature indicator
light up.
– When you reach maximum speed after fully opening the throttle, turn back the throttle
to about ¾ of its range; the speed hardly drops, but the fuel consumption falls consid-
erably.
– Open the throttle only as far as the road and weather conditions permit. Particularly in
bends, do not shift and open the throttle only very cautiously.
– To shift down, brake if necessary and close the throttle at the same time.
– Pull the clutch lever and shift into a lower gear, release the clutch lever slowly and open
the throttle or shift again.
