Why motorcycles have a 1-N-2-3-4-5 gear system and not N-1-2-3-4-5 ?

Question:


Answers:

where can i find motorcycles in arkansas?

The original purpose was to be able to shift a street bike or dirt bike throughout all the gears without the chance of going into neutral. the 1-N-2 sequence requires a half shift from first to second to reach neutral. When you are racing, you do not want to accidently go into neutral. Same is for riding on the street.

Best Motorcycle?

When your at a stand still with your bike it's easiest to step down on the shift lever out of nuetral rather then pulling up.

So I don't have this so called sence. How do I know when to change gear by using the speedometer?

Well Now days even the Bikes have N-1-2-3-4 gear system!

I am 17 years old and am ready to purchase my first motorcycle.?


But the main purpose to have 1-N-2-3-4 is that 1st gear is only used for starting purpose and and at stops we can easliy come to N without going to 1st Gear!

what is a harley fatboy listed as : a soft tail or what?

someday someone will reinvent this i am sure. I really think its a logical safety issue, so in a panic the newbie wont jam it into a freewheeling mode and lose engine braking. Heres a Wonderful Idea, My 69 BSA has 1 n 2 n 3 n 4. When I am coming to a stop sign, i just drop it into neutral below 4, and coast! then just before i stop, slip it down into 1!
the neutral first sure is handy in a drag bike, flip the selector over, and put the shifter way in back and its down down down the strip!

I am trying to find an EXPLORER 110 motorbike owners manual but am unable to find one anywhere. Please help.?

This shift pattern helps you from getting a false N when you are shiffting down. Think about going around a corner and shifting down and then end up grabing neutral, just when you need some power.

i need a new dirtbike!?

Jack of all, first answer, has it down pat. When you are sitting on a 500 pound bike at a stop it's a heck of a lot easier to push the shift lever down. Look at my avatar, I'm on an FXDWG. It's a good thing first gear is down when you have a bike this heavy. And it's probably like that on the small bikes for a reason also.

Does the Yamaha V-Star 1100A Classic need a custom air filter?

Going WAY back in time, motorcycles used to have a hand shifter mounted on the side of the gas tank, and the clutch was operated with the left foot. There was a "SHIFT GATE" that the lever rode in, positioning the lever in the correct position for each gear. The slot in the shift gate was cut/machined in a toothed configuration, to work like a ratchet. 1st gear back in those days were not syncromeshed, so you didn't want to shift into it while rolling, hence neutral was before 1st in a downshifting pattern.

so you won't be shifting into nuetral instead of 1st. Suck in an intersection.

How do i measure up my rims to find the sizes,?

Try a track bike. The majority run GP shift which is reversed. 1 up-N-5 down. On the track you never shift to neutral, untill the race is over. Shifting down coming out of a corner in WOT has less disruption to the suspenion.

Also once you retrain yourself to GP shift, it a good excuse to keep blokes from asking to ride your bike.
