1. Starting gear:
(1) Tighten the clutch;
(2) Depress the shift lever to 1st gear;
(3) Slowly release the clutch and lightly accelerator.
2. Upshift operation:

| question | Reason | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Difficulty in shifting gears | The clutch is not pulled to the bottom/the oil viscosity is not suitable | Check clutch line tension or change engine oil |
| Frustrated shifting | Improper coordination of throttle and clutch | Practice the synchronized operation of "slowly releasing the clutch + slowly refueling" |
| Hard to find slots | Insufficient gear sensor or operating skills | Press half gear or adjust the shift lever angle |
1.Be careful when practicing "clutchless shifting": It is only recommended to try it on a straight road after you are proficient. Wrong operation may damage the gearbox.
2.Regular maintenance of transmission system: Chain tightness and clutch plate wear will affect the shifting feel.
3.Different models vary greatly: Harley's foot-operated shifting and the imitation racing quick shifter (QSS) need to be adapted accordingly.
Through the above structured analysis, I believe you have a more systematic understanding of motorcycle gear operation. With more practice combined with actual cases in hot discussions, you will soon be able to master the technique of smooth shifting!
