Locate the clutch lever on your motorcycle's left handlebar. It's usually a gray lever. Squeeze the clutch lever with your left hand.
Step 2: Click the gear shifter up or down.
Locate your motorcycle's gear shifter. It's usually operated with your left hand. Click it up or down with the ball of your foot to go higher or lower in gears.
Step 3: Release the clutch lever.
Slowly release the clutch lever (the one on your left) with your left hand. As the clutch engages, you should start giving your bike gas by twisting your right hand forward towards you and begin rolling.
Step 4: Repeat as necessary.
Repeat the previous steps as necessary to shift gears. If you're new to riding a motorcycle, it might help to practice shifting in a parking lot and avoid shifting between gears in 2nd and 3rd. If you're having trouble shifting gears it may be time for a new transmission fluid in your motorcycle.
Here are some additional tips for shifting gears on a motorcycle:
* Shift smoothly. Don't yank the gear shifter up or down. This could damage your motorcycle.
* Listen to your engine. You can tell when it's time to shift gears by listening to the sound of your engine. When the engine starts to sound strained, shift up a gear.
* Don't shift gears at too high or too low of an RPM. This could also damage your motorcycle.
* Practice makes perfect. The more you practice shifting gears, the easier it will become.
Shifting gears on a motorcycle is a skill that takes practice, but with these tips, you'll be able to do it like a pro in no time.
