Shifting Gears
NOTE: Always allow the engine to warm up before shifting gears.
1. When starting from a stopped position with the transmission in neutral, squeeze and
hold the brake lever.
2. With the throttle closed (not depressed), squeeze the clutch lever to disengage the
clutch. Depress the gear shift pedal one full stroke to shift into first gear.
3. Release the brake lever. Increase engine speed by gradually opening the throttle
(squeezing the throttle lever) while slowly releasing the clutch lever.
4. As engine speed (RPM) increases in first gear, simultaneously release the throttle,
disengage the clutch and shift to second gear by raising the gear shift pedal one full
stroke. Repeat this procedure to progressively upshift to additional gears.
5. Use the same procedure to downshift.
