Step 1
This is how the gears are set up. All the way down is first gear. Do a half click for neutral. Then is second, third, all the way up to gear five.
-
Step 2
All you are really doing is clicking up or down. No need to go sideways like a car.
-
Step 3
So to get the bike in first gear, make sure the clutch is engaged. Push down on the gear lever until it doesn’t click anymore. You are now in first gear.
-
Step 4
To get it in neutral from there, depress the clutch and push the lever slightly up. A light should come on when the bike is in neutral.
-
Step 5
To get in second gear, give the bike some gas, ease off the throttle, pull in the clutch and then shift up.
-
Step 6
Once in gear, release the clutch smoothly. Hit the throttle.
-
Step 7
To downshift, do the same procedure to shift up except you will shift down instead. Be careful when downshifting. Downshifting the bike in a lower gear at a higher speed can put a lot of pressure on the engine which could damage it. So that’s it, you are done.
