[QUOTE="kirrbby, post: 181012, member: 3972"] Starting off in neutral... While at idle, simply click up 1 into first and let off of the shifter while sitting still. You'll be in first gear, but not moving...because at idle speed the clutch is NOT engaged. Then, slowly roll on the throttle. The clutch will begin to engage as RPMs go up, and you will begin to move. Then, when you begin to wind out 1st gear, let off of the throttle, when RPMs drop a little, click all the way down, PAST neutral and into 2nd gear. Let off of the shifter as you begin to roll on the throttle. Now you're in 2nd. When you wind out 2nd gear...let off the throttle...click all the way down again into third. Because you have a semi-automatic clutch, you can stop completely while in 3rd...or ANY gear, without stalling the engine. Simply let off of the throttle and stop. The RPMs will drop to idle speed and the clutch will disengage, allowing the bike to sit at idle...while running IN gear. If you try to take off again...in third gear, you'll have NO power to speak of...same as in your car. But while stopped, at idle, you can change into ANY gear, or into neutral, and start over. Neutral is halfway BETWEEN 1st gear and 2nd gear. So when you want to go into neutral... While the engine is at idle speed, move the shift lever HALF WAY up from 2nd gear...OR... HALF WAY down from first gear. If you move the shift lever too far, you'll go PAST neutral and into another gear. [/QUOTE]
