To engage the second gear:
Proceed quickly.
Never ride the vehicle at too low
rpm.
N Release the throttle grip (2) (Pos. A),
pull the clutch lever (3) and lift the shif-
ting lever (4). Release the clutch lever
(3) and accelerate.
N Repeat the last two operations and shift
up.
If the 2 stroke oil warning light
LED " " comes on, this means
that the 2 stroke oil reserve is
being used; in this case, provide for
topping up, see page 29 (2 STROKE OIL
TANK).
The downshifting should be carried out in
the following situations:
N When riding downhill or when braking, in
order to increase the braking action by
using the compression of the engine.
N When riding uphill, if the gear engaged is
not suitable to the speed (high gear, mo-
derate speed) and the engine rpm decre-
ases.
Shift the gears one by one; the
simultaneous downshifting of
more than one gear may make
you exceed the maximum rpm (red line).
Before and during the downshifting, re-
lease the throttle grip and decelerate, in
order to avoid the "red line".
To shift down, proceed as follows:
N Release the throttle grip (2) (Pos. A).
If necessary, pull the brake levers mode-
N
rately and decrease the speed of the
vehicle.
N Pull the clutch lever (3) and lower the
shifting lever (4) to shift down.
N If the brake levers are pulled, release
them.
N Release the clutch lever and accelerate
moderately.
