Engine speedLimit engine speed in accord-
ance with engine temperature,
using the highest engine
speeds only when the engine
has reached its regular operat-
ing temperature.
When the revolution counter
needle enters the red zone on
the dial, the fuel supply is inter-
rupted in order to protect the
engine against overspeeding.
\f Note:
The governor cuts in at
7 900 rpm.
Load changes
d Warning:
Try not to open or close the
throttle abruptly, particularly
on wet or slippery roads.
Gear shifts
\f Note:
Never slip the clutch excessively
when changing gear. Vary your
speed only by using the throttle
in a suitable gear, not by slipping
the clutch.
The digital gear indicator in the
Rider Information Display shows
which gear is selected (
b 59).
