Yamaha YZF-R125 Owners Manual: Shifting
Shifting
- Shift pedal
- Neutral position
Shifting gears lets you control the amount of engine power available for starting off, accelerating, climbing hills, etc.
The gear positions are shown in the illustration.
TIP
To shift the transmission into the neutral
position, press the shift pedal down
repeatedly until it reaches the end of its
travel, and then slightly raise it.
