One of the things bikers get into trouble with when riding a motorcycle for the first time is changing gears. Today's article is to make it easier to change that gear. If you want to know about changing gears, first you need to know about some aspects of motorcycle. Knowing these makes it easier to change gears.
Throttle
It helps to start the engine.
Clutch
If it is released slowly, the motorcycle starts moving and if it is held, the engine of the motorcycle stops.
Gear Shifter
This will allow you to increase or decrease the gear to your liking.
In what pattern do you change gears?
The gear pattern is the same in different types of motorcycles. Also, it depends entirely on the biker. However, for your convenience, the following pattern is given.
6th gear
5th gear
4th gear
3rd gear
2nd gear
Neutral
1st gear
Most bike manufacturers follow the upper gear pattern. And if your bike has any other gear pattern, you have to adapt to it. Most 150cc bikes use the upper gear pattern.
How to change first gear?
Pull the bike clutch towards you.
No matter what gear you are in, change gears.
Turn on the throttle of the bike and give the engine the power to move forward.
Slowly release the clutch as you increase your throttle.
Slowly release both the throttle and the clutch, as if at the same time and at the same time. Now you can see that your bike is slowly moving forward.
When the bike starts to move, keep increasing the throttle to increase the speed and change the 2nd gear as the bike makes extra noise.
What to do in case of next gears?
There are actually no specific rules for changing gears after first gear. You just have to be more discriminating with the help you render toward other people. When your engine noise is excessively high, change gears slowly. In this case, it is good to know that each gear has a point after which even if the pickup of the bike is increased, the bike can no longer accelerate in that gear or the engine can not produce more power or torque.
If your bike moves to that level of gear, you can change the gear of your bike. And if you still don't change gears, it can damage the equipment inside your bike. In this case, you need to understand when this level of the engine actually comes when the engine can no longer generate power even after accelerating.
Again, changing gears too fast is not a very wise thing to do. This can reduce the lifetime of your engine. If you change gears long before the engine reaches its maximum level, it will be seen that at some point your engine has been severely damaged. Therefore, understanding the time must always work. You have to understand your bike. And in this case there is no alternative to repeated practice.
How to change gears easily?
Almost everyone gets in trouble for changing gears for the first time. What happens in most cases is that either releasing the clutch quickly stops the start of your bike, or if you keep increasing the throttle by not seeing the bike running, the front wheel of the bike may get high and shake the bike hard. So always try to release the clutch and throttle at the same time when changing gears and do the work carefully.
How to do a downshift?
During gear downshift, first hold the clutch and shift to the gear you want to go. At this time, make sure that the amount of throttle is less according to your selected gear. That is, hold the maximum throttle in the gear you are shifting. Then gently release the clutch. However, do not brake while holding the clutch. Because, when your bike goes into low gear, the engine speed naturally goes to the level of that gear. Then there is an automatic braking, it is also called engine braking.
What to do when parking?
When parking the bike, usually neutralize the bike. If the bike is in any other gear it might jump a little. So, it is better to be neutral. Next, leave the bike well where you want it to be. Then shift its 1st gear. Because if the bike is in 1st gear, it will not have any option to move the wheel. So, you can use this method.
These are all the details of changing the gear of a motorcycle. If you try this way, I hope that the problem of changing gears will be completely eliminated. One thing to keep in mind, however, is that riding a motorcycle is not the work of information science. So you don't just have to know, you have to practice again and again. Remember, no matter how much knowledge you have without practice, it will not work.
