Shifting Gears - Polaris VICTORY MOTORCYCLES HAMMER 2010 Mode D'emploi

Operation

Shifting Gears

WARNING! Forced shifting (with clutch engaged) could cause damage to the engine, transmission and drive train. Such damage
could cause loss of control, which could result in serious injury or death. Always pull the clutch lever fully toward the handlebars to
disengage the clutch before shifting gears.
On motorcycles equipped with a six-speed transmission,
the sixth gear is overdrive. Neutral is located between first
and second gear.
Tip: The transmission is in neutral if you can move the motorcycle
forward or rearward freely without disengaging the clutch. If
the ignition switch is on, the neutral indicator illuminates
when the transmission is in neutral.
1. Start the engine. See page 60.
2. With the engine at idle speed, pull the front brake lever
toward the handlebar.
3. Pull the clutch lever toward the handlebar.
Tip: Shift to a higher gear by lifting the front of the gear shift pedal
with your toe. Shift to a lower gear by pressing the pedal
downward.
4. Push the shift pedal downward until you feel it stop in
first gear.
