WARNING Failing to properly observe the road ahead increases the chance of an accident. Do not concentrate on the shift-up indicator by taking your eyes off the road, observe using peripheral vision. When shifting down to a lower gear, do not shift at such a high speed that the engine r/min (rpm) jumps excessively. Not only can this cause engine damage, but the rear wheel may skid and cause an accident. Downshifting should be done below 5 000 r/min (rpm) for each gear. |
