WARNING

Downshifting to a lower gear at high speed causes engine rpm to increase excessively, potentially damaging the engine and it may also cause the rear wheel to skid and cause an accident.

NOTICE

When changing gears, press firmly on the shift pedal to ensure proper shifting. Care- less, incomplete shifting can cause the transmission to jump out of gear and lead to engine damage.
