Unlock the secrets to effortlessly maneuvering the globe's most renowned motorcycle.
Follow These Simple Steps
Activate the ignition and watch as the N for neutral illuminates.
Engage the kick starter arm firmly downward or opt for the electric starter, easily identified as the large yellow button on the right handle.
Recognize that operating this motorcycle is straightforward. It utilizes a centrifugal clutch instead of a manual one, so you won't find a lever on the left handlebar. To engage a gear, simply press down on the left foot pedal - though you won't move immediately.
To get moving, gently twist the throttle on the right handlebar towards the rider.
Shifting gears while in motion is quite simple. Close the throttle (away from the rider) and press down on the left foot pedal again. Repeat for 3rd and 4th gears.
Control your speed with the throttle.
To come to a halt, release the throttle and engage the brakes.
The right handle controls the front brake, while the right foot pedal operates the rear brake.
Tips
- - Always wear a helmet and preferably gloves as well.
- - After coming to a stop, it's possible to shift directly from 4th gear to N (neutral) due to the rotary gear system. Rest assured, this feature only activates when the bike is stationary.
- - When slowing down or stopping, use both brakes simultaneously, applying more pressure to the front brake and less to the rear. It's all about understanding the dynamics of riding.
Warnings
- Despite its modest 100cc engine capacity and outputting a mere 6Hp, it's still capable of causing trouble! (reaching a top speed of about 90kph or 57mph).
- Since there's no manual clutch, downshifting at high speeds can lock up the rear wheel and lead to skidding. (Downshifting is possible; it just requires coordination between gear changes and throttle operation).
