1. Turn on the ignition - the N for neutral will light up.
2. Flip out the kick starter arm and kick firmly downwards, better still use the electric starter if there is one, it's the big yellow button on the right handle - the engine should start easily.
3. Understand that this motorcycle is for easy operation. It uses a centrifugal clutch rather than a manual clutch so you will not find a lever on the left handle. To get into gear, simply step down on the left foot pedal and you are in first gear - but still not moving.
4. To get going, gradually twist the accelerator on the right handle bar backwards (towards the rider) and you are off.
5. Once on the move, changing gears is fairly simple. Roll the throttle shut (away from the rider) and step down on the left foot pedal again. Repeat for 3rd and 4th gears.
6. Regulate your speed using the throttle.
7. To stop, simply roll off the throttle and apply the brakes.
8. The front brake is on the right handle and rear brake is operated by the right foot pedal.
