How do you shift on a classic motorcycle?
Something like Honda CG? It is different than dirt bikes and sport bikes!
Hold in the clutch.change the gear with your foot and let the clutch out again
Clutch-in, shift-up, release…
No difference
One down, four up, and pull the clutch in each time.
Pretty much the same.
Changing gear is the same on all motorcycles. The only differences were, that some old British and European bikes had the shifter on the right and the brake pedal on the left.
(In more than 30 years of motorcycling, I have never heard anyone refer to a CG-125 as a "classic". And I doubt I ever will again…)
Depress clutch pedal with left foot, move shift lever with left hand forward for first, back 2 or 3 positions depending on 3 speed or 4 speed transmission. 'Classic' Harley before 1954 when foot shift was option. 1949 FLE had 4 speed, WLA had 3 speed tranny as did the UL project and the 1954 FL xpolice with stoppable speedometer had 4 speed. Some servicars had left hand throttle, right hand shifter- "CLASSIC" police trikes and some of the 2 wheelers had same setup- foot clutch, right hand shift, left hand throttle. Indian had the left foot clutch, right hand shift, left hand throttle- 1946 Indian chief project. Since I answered for 'ACTUAL CLASSIC' motorcycle use- and noted make, model, years, I get the points? Silly posters and words forms- time to read Hayakawa 'On Words' . TEASING ALERT!
- What would you do if a lady around 30-37 told you that you were useless and would never amount to anything? She's a well dressed white lady with a brand new Honda SUV and she has a daughter that looks about 12 that is also well dressed and the girl is being rude and both are being very rude to the guy at the counter at Subway. Would it be wrong to curse out the old witch who tried to start a fight and cursed out the subway worker and you?
- You say do I need to keep the Bell helmet the renter wore when he slipped, and crashed my motorcycle? My motorcycle is the 2008? Honda CBR600RR super sport motorcycle. The Cofounder of Riders- Share.Com compensated me the full amount of the motorcycle repairer's written damage estimate. I was also fully compensated for the helmet, which the renter wore when he crashed my motorcycle and my helmet.
- Do you have to sell your motorcycle if you plan to move from Colorado to New York? I have a Honda CB500F motorcycle that I love but it is too far to drive. If I decide take it with me, I have to drive twice since I have a car too. If you were me, would you sell the motorcycle before you leave or drive twice?
- Motorcycles - what happens if you shift it wrong? - 1 What will happen in a manual motorcycle if example, I shift gears without using the clutch lever? Will the transmission break? In a semi-auto motorcycle, will something bad happen if example, I just started the motorcycle then shifted it to 4th gear without even reaching 10kph? Also, what's the best motorcycle to start with, is Honda Wave 100 or Honda Wave 125 good?
