Getting into 1st gear
Ok, I have bike together, put in battery, lights work, blinkers with sound etc.
Gear light shows 4th gear. When I click gear shift it goes to 5. I cannot seem to click lower or higher to get to N, 3,2,1?? The engine is not on, I am just testing gear. |

With the engine off, rock the bike backward and forward while stepping on the gear selector. You'll feel it stop as the gears engage that of course being your Q to press down to get into the next gear. I had a old Honda ATC that wouldn't go into 1st gear to save its life - especially if it was cold. Also, make sure that the recommended amount / type of oil is onboard.

I concur with daddy. I had a 1979 Suzuki that had a gear indicator light and I couldn't change gear if I was in a stationary position unless I rocked the bike back and forth a little. It didn't matter if the engine was on or off.

I agree with the others.
