Dude. what do you have a 250? you just have to keep a mental picture of what gear you are in and always remember when you up shift and down shift. To down shift all you do is let go of the throttle hold the clutch and press down on the gear shift thing, let go of the clutch and accelerate slowly.
Good luck buddy

Do any females have a motorcycle license and do you own a motorcycle?

You usually just know in your head from experience but the truth is - you don't need to know. You up or downshift based on speed and feel. If the engine is running hard shift to a higher gear, if it is bogging shift to a lower gear.
To shift to a lower gear (3rd to 2nd for instance) pull in the clutch and push down on the gear level with your left toe. Let out the clutch.

With the tach, not only will it tell you when to downshift (by indicating your engine speed), in time you will know what gear you are in by comparing your tach to your speedometer. Combined they will tell you exactly what you need to know for any situation.

All the way down on the shifter until you can't hear the gears changing. Is 1st.
Neutral is 1/2 click up from 1st, between 1st & 2nd (usually there's a (N)light in the dash to help you know when it's definitely in.

You don't have to down shift if your not very good at it it's better to brake to stop, also down shifting with out blipping the throttle can put undue stress on you components, brakes are easier to replace than a motor or trans.
