    ok so u start off in neutral then u down shift to 1st. well u do that you hold down the clutch.
    then when your driving u shift to 2 3 4 5.
    when u stop you hold down the clutch and put it back down into first, then repeat the process? is that right?

    I take MSF course tomorrow. I never riden before but i watched enough videos to know what to do. My only question is if i can go into neutral from 2nd gear?

  19. polishroxxor says:

    Thought so, I just have a dirtbike, Yamaha TTR-125L.

    It’s a good bike, I wanna get better at riding, so I’m riding it more, one day, I don’t know what kind of bike I want, either a cruiser, or a sportbike…I’ve seen old Triumphs, and I really want one of those…but I’ll have to get a bit smarter mechanically before I do…time to go hang with my dad.
