Operation and important riding points
the " " side of the hand shift lever
repeatedly until the neutral indica-
tor light comes on.
 When shifting from neutral to 1st
gear, the engine speed must be
lower than approximately 1300
r/min and the sidestand must be
up.
 Shifting up is impossible if the en-
gine speed is too low.
 Shifting down is impossible if the
engine speed is too high.
 To avoid damaging the YCC-S
clutch, the shift down indicator
light flashes when it is necessary
to downshift. If this occurs, down-
shift until the indicator light stops
flashing.
 When the stop mode function is
activated, the transmission auto-
matically shifts down when com-
ing to a stop.
NOTICE
Even with the transmission in the
neutral position, do not coast for
long periods of time with the engine
off, and do not tow the vehicle for
long distances. The transmission is
properly lubricated only when the
engine is running. Inadequate lubri-
cation may damage the transmis-
sion.

1. Shift the transmission into first
gear. The neutral indicator light

2. Open the throttle gradually.
3. At the recommended shift points
shown in the following table, close

tion.)
5. Open the throttle part way.
6. Follow the same procedure when
shifting to the next higher gear.
TIP
When shifting gears in normal operat-
ing conditions, use the recommended
shift points.

essary.

stopped, the transmission can be
shifted into the neutral position.
