A car is not a luxury, but a means of transportation, as Ostap Bender said in the novel by Ilf and Petrov. This phrase is more relevant than ever in our time. The same, perhaps, can be attributed to two-wheeled vehicles, namely to motorcycles. It makes no sense to dwell in detail on the principle of operation of a motorcycle. However, it can be noted that it has a gearbox, the number of stages, in which it is determined by the brand of a single instance. It is necessary to dwell in more detail on such an issue as gear shifting on a motorcycle.
Instructions
Step 1
The first piece of advice that should be given to novice riders is the following: when changing gears, it is highly desirable (but what is there - necessarily) the clutch must be squeezed. It's like an axiom of motorcycle technology that is not negotiable.
Step 2
Also, you shouldn't go into low gears if you are driving at a decent speed (100 km / h, for example), because this will badly affect the condition of the transmission of your motorcycle. Switching too slowly will not lead to anything good either. Over time, a characteristic, unpleasant sound will be heard when the first gear is turned on.
Step 3
It is highly desirable that gear changes are synchronized with corresponding changes in engine speed, so that all parts rotate at the same angular speeds and the coupling mechanisms easily and smoothly engage the gears. Torque will not be transmitted through the transmission until the next gear shift is complete. Real aces match the speed of the motorcycle with the engine speed when choosing a gear. When shifting down, you need to slightly increase the engine speed, and when shifting up, on the contrary, lower it (the so-called "overgassing").
Step 4
But be that as it may, it should be reiterated that the clutch must always be depressed when shifting. The effort with which you shift the gear should not be half and too weak. It must be proportionate. Otherwise, the box will wear out ahead of time, and the transmission will constantly pop out.
Step 5
Summing up, I would also like to note that you need to switch quickly and deliberately so that there are no unforeseen unpleasant situations on the road.
