Yep, 1st - 3rd gear all uP on the 91' CT70.
I was thinking of the shift pattern of my old Honda cm200 is 1 down 3 uP with a clutch. It would make a hell of a racket coming in with speed to a stop light trying to get it in first gear. It was happier to hit 2nd then first, i learned that one quick.:rolleyes:

Best method for shfting into neutral, when stopping in traffic is to just leave it in gear, use the brakes to slow down until engine rpm is 1500-2000 (7-10mph), then downshift...finally snicking the trans into neutral when the bike is almost stopped. That takes all the strain & shock load off the tranny. It's a helluva lot easier finding neutral this way, too.;)

Thank you Tom, and back at ya.
Wifey is all over it! She's very well informed, and won't let me leave the house...specially since I'm a dirty smoker with dirty smokers lungs. We are well stocked for a shut in. I have plenty of projects to do right here at home. I've been working long weeks and hours for quite a while, but now, I'm laid off!! Crazy times.
Governor called it this morning...she's shutting the state down at midnight tonight (kinda).

We're hangin tough here in Michigan.
