how to drive a geared motor cycle?

Answer 1

With the engine running, pull the clutch lever all the way to the handlebar (the clutch lever is at the right hand grip of the handlebar).
"Press the shift lever down" with your toe (the shift lever is near the left foot peg).
Release pressure on the shift lever and it will spring up to it's resting position, ready to shift again.
You're now in first gear.
Slowly release the clutch lever.
The clutch plates start to grab each other and the bike starts to move.
Turn the throttle to increase the engine speed and continue to release the clutch.
After you get moving, fully release the clutch lever and turn the throttle to go faster.
When you're ready to shift to the next gear, release the throttle, pull in the clutch and "lift the shift lever up" with your toe.
You're now in second gear.
Let the shift lever spring back.
Release the clutch lever and turn the throttle.
Continue the process to continue shifting to higher gears.
Pull in the clutch - lift the shift lever - let out the clutch (release it).
Every time you lift the shift lever, you go into the next higher gear 1-2-3-4-5

To down shift to a lower gear (go slower) -
Release the throttle - pull in the clutch lever - press down on the shift lever - let it spring back - release the clutch.

To shift to neutral, neutral is a half shift, between first and second gear.
Pull in the clutch lever.
While in first gear, "gently" lift the shift lever.
If you lift it firmly, it will go right through neutral into second gear.
To go to neutral while down shifting, when in second, "gently" press down the shift lever
To shift from second to first, press down "firmly", it'll go right through neutral into first.
When the shift lever touches neutral, you'll feel a slight indent, to inform you that the transmission has touched neutral.
Take a riding course like the MSF (motorcycle saftey foundation).
They'll teach you everything you need to know.

Answer 2

I've always thought it would be easier to learn to ride a bike if you could already drive a car with a standard transmission. Riding a bike is not difficult but if you don't have the understanding of the clutch and gearshift, you have to learn everything at once, and that would be difficult. (But not impossible! I know people who have done it.)

Answer 3

Take a motorbike safety course there they will teach you to ride safely and how to shift gears.

Answer 4

same way as a standard trasmission on a car or truck, instead of useing your foot on the clutch, you will be useing your hand to use the clutch.

Answer 5

one down, four up. use the clutch. wear a helmet. smile.
