   yeah. different bikes can hit different speeds. but yourgunna want to listen to the motor. and keep it on a low rev when your starting. cause if you accidently throw that clutch going into second your gunnna be flat on your back.

   so far i can ride a bike with little problems, but i cant turn (i have the same problem with ridding cars) based on how wide i turn am assuming that if i were at a 2 lane highway i would always be riding on the opposite side of the road

    hey i have a question, so from bottom gear to top it goes 1,neutral,2,3,4 but the thing i dont understand is how do you start in first gear then go to 2nd gear without going through neutral? i hope its not a dumb question i just dont wanna mess myself up on my first ride

    you can only shift from 1st to Neutral if you are going at a slow speed of less than 10 MPH (i think 10MPH) i dont see why you would wana go to neutral. at parking you have to be in gear and at long stops the best thing to do is stall the motor by holding the brake and dropping the clutch (you have to be stopped or you will burnout)

    when you are starting from a stop in first gear, once the bike gets moving (at all) can you completely let out the clutch, or do you have to wait until you’re going faster?

    also when you shift gears, do you have to ease the clutch out between every gear, or can you just let it out quickly? (I’m talking about shifting from 1-2, 2-3, etc., not starting in 1st from a stop)

    You have to use to clutch every time your shift. And you have to wait until its going a bit faster, when you directly release the clutch maximum the engine wil go off. Sorry for my bad english.

    between every gear there is a neutral, because there is between every gear a small point when the gears eachother not grapping. But if you shifting you put the shifthandle entirely to the top so you don’t come in that small point and your going from 1 to 2. If you wanna go back in neutral you have to pull the shifthandle very slowly between normal position and the top. I hope i helped you and sorry for my bad english !

    when you shift up from first, there are two detents that you can shift up. a half click up gets you to neutral, a whole click up gets you to second.

    Is it ok to downshift just before taking a turn or while taking a turn.
