NOTE:
Pre-operation checks should be made each time the motorcycle is used. Such an inspection can be accom-
plished in a very short time; and the added safety it assures is more than worth the time involved.

If any item in the PRE-OPERATION CHECKS is not working properly, have it inspected and repaired before oper-
ating the motorcycle.

NOTE:
If the engine fails to start, release

motor, kick the kick starter to start
the engine.
6. After starting the engine, move
the starter to the halfway posi-
tion.
NOTE:
For maximum engine life, always
warm up the engine before starting
off. Never accelerate hard with a
cold engine.
7. After warming up the engine,
turn off the starter completely.
NOTE:
The engine is warm when it
responds normally to the throttle
with the starter turned off.

Shifting
The transmission lets you control
the amount of power you have
available at a given speed for start-
ing, accelerating, climbing hills,
etc. The use of the shift pedal is
shown in the illustration.
To shift into neutral, depress the
shift pedal repeatedly until it reach-
es the end of its travel, then raise
the pedal slightly.

cC
1. Do not coast for long periods
with the engine off, and do
not tow the motorcycle a long
distance. Even with gears in
neutral, the transmission is
only properly lubricated when
the engine is running.
Inadequate lubrication may
damage the transmission.
2. Always use the clutch when
changing gears. The engine,
transmission, and driveline are
not designed to withstand the
shock of forced shifting and
can be damaged by shifting
without using the clutch.
