NSR 150 SP Owner's Manual: Riding

WARNING

Review Motorcycle Safety before you ride.

NOTE:

Make sure you understand the function of the side stand mechanism. (See MAINTENANCE SCHEDULE and explanation for SIDE STAND).

1.    After the engine has been warmed up, the motorcycle is ready for riding.

2.    While the engine is idling, pull in the clutch lever and depress the gearshift pedal to shift into 1 st (low) gear.

3.    Slowly release the clutch lever and at the same time gradually increase engine speed by opening the throttle. Coordination of the throttle and clutch lever will assure a smooth positive start.

4.    When the motorcycle attains a moderate speed, close the throttle, pull in the clutch lever and shift to 2nd gear by raising the gearshift pedal. This sequence is repeated to progressively shift to 3rd, 4th, 5th and 6th (top) gear.

5.    Coordinate the throttle and brakes for smooth deceleration.

6.    Both front and rear brakes should be used at the same time and should not be applied strongly enough to lock the wheel, or braking effectiveness will be reduced and control of the motorcycle be difficult.
