Operation<br />
Shifting Gears (continued)<br />
WARNING<br />
• Downshifting at a speed in excess of the recommended downshift point may severely damage the<br />
transmission or cause the rear wheel to lose traction. It could also result in engine damage from<br />
running at excessive rpm. Reduce speed before downshifting and do not downshift at a speed<br />
above that in the table of recommended shift points.<br />
• Downshifting abruptly on wet, rough, loose, or slippery surfaces can cause the motorcycle to<br />
skid. When downshifting while passing over such surfaces, release the clutch lever very<br />
gradually.<br />
• Downshifting in a curve may cause the rear wheel to lose traction. Downshift before you enter a<br />
curve.<br />
