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?

How to start bike without key?

I have a 1988 Honda Shadow Vlx VT600C and i lost the keys to the bike. I could go buy one but i was wondering if i could just put a toggle with on to bypass the ignition switch and then just start it with the start button on the handlebars. And if i can which wires do i need to connect to the toggle switch.

My friend gave me his bike to work on. But I need a new pivot bolt which ones will work? I found a 1997 bolt but the seller doesn't know if it will work. Any help will be much appreciated thanks

Newbie dirt bike rider. NEED OPINIONS?

So i recently (2 months ago) started to ride my friends 2 stroke honda cr80. This was the first bike I had ever ridden with a clutch. I have gotten used to using a clutch and shifting etc, and I generally feel very comfortable on this bike. Now here's the problem, I'm way to big for this bike. I'm 5'9" and weigh 180lbs. I'm buying this a bike for myself sometime this summer and I was considering buying a 4 stroke 250 (a trail oriented bike) do you think this is a good or bad idea considering my experience. Oh also i should add that i would be learning how to ride this bike in a big empty grass field. Feel free to ask any other questions you have. Anyway thanks for your help.

I want to get a new dirtbike?

Hey y'all! I'm 17 and I'm a girl. I ride a yamaha raptor 250 quad right now. I love quads and all but I mean its getting old, they are fun and easy to ride but dirt bikes are more fun. My dad will not let me get one, he says they are too dangerous… Which in fact quads are more dangerous. But when I get paid then I will be looking into buying a dirtbike. I'm a fan of honda and yamaha. How do I talk my dad into it. And what brand should I get?
