The gear positions are shown in the figure.
1. Gear switch pedal; N. Neutral | 1. Gear switch pedal; N. Neutral |
Note. To shift the transmission into neutral, press the shift pedal repeatedly until it reaches the end of its travel, then lift it slightly.
Carefully!
- Even when in neutral, do not coast for long periods of time with the engine stopped or tow the motorcycle over long distances.
- The gearbox only receives adequate lubrication when the engine is running. Insufficient lubrication can damage the gearbox.
- Always use the clutch when changing gears to prevent damage to the engine, transmission and power train, which are unable to withstand the shock loads caused by power shifting.
Recommended shift points (only for Switzerland)
Recommended acceleration shift points are shown in the following table.
Switch point (km/hour) | |
1st → 2nd | 23 |
2nd → 3rd | 36 |
3rd → 4th | 50 |
4th → 5th | 60 |
Note: When downshifting two gears at once, reduce speed accordingly (for example, up to 35 km/h when switching from 4th to 2nd gear).
