Shifting Gears While Stationary
To locate neutral when the motorcycle is stationary, use one of the following techniques to load and unload the transmission:
-
With the clutch disengaged (lever pulled inward), shift into neutral while rocking the motorcycle forward and rearward.
-
With the transmission in first gear, gently release the clutch until it just begins to engage. Apply upward pressure on the toe lever and quickly pull the clutch inward.
