One of the most important processes when driving a motorcycle is shifting gears. The skill of shifting gears seems difficult to master, but it is actually a simple skill. However, the way to change gears will depend on the type of transmission of the vehicle, such as a car with a mechanical or semi-automatic transmission.
Steps
Gearshift for mechanical transmission

Get familiar with the clutch, throttle and gear lever. The clutch is located in front of the left handgrip, its job is to transmit torque from the engine to the transmission. The throttle is on the right hand grip. When you increase the throttle, the number of revolutions of the engine will increase to avoid stalling. The gear lever is the bar located in front of the left footrest, its job is to switch between gears. Do the following exercises:
- Tighten the clutch lever and then release it slowly.
- Turn the throttle to the rear of the vehicle (“accelerate”) to accelerate the vehicle.
- Turn the throttle to the front of the vehicle (“reduce the throttle”) to slow the vehicle down.
- Press down on the gear lever to put the car in first gear. This is true only if the car is in 0 or 2, in other cases the car will shift to a lower gear if you stomp on it.
- Push the gear lever up to shift to the remaining gears. The common number structure of a mechanical transmission is that 1 stomp forward, the remaining gears (4 or 5 gears) hook up. The number 0 is between the number 1 and the number 2.
Start the car by squeezing the clutch, then press the switch button. Make sure the vehicle is in zero. Zero is indicated by a green “N” light on the instrument panel; All new cars have this feature. At this point, you are sitting in the saddle. [1] X Research Source
Shift into 1st gear. Start by releasing the throttle, then fully squeeze the clutch lever. At the same time, you shift the gear lever into 1st gear by stomping on the gear lever. Slowly increase the throttle while releasing the clutch until the car starts to roll slowly. Then start increasing the throttle more and release the clutch completely.
- Do not rush to release all the clutch, but continue to coordinate between the throttle and clutch until the car runs normally. When the vehicle accelerates, continue to slowly release the clutch handle smoothly.
Switch to higher numbers. When the car has reached enough speed to shift to a higher gear, you reduce the throttle and squeeze the clutch. Place your toe under the gear lever and hook up to shift to a higher gear. Each time the gear lever is raised, the car will shift to a higher gear. The first hook into 2nd gear, subsequent times into 3rd, 4th and so on. NOTE: experienced drivers do not need to control the clutch to shift to higher gears. They just need to slightly hook the gear lever up, then, when they immediately ease the throttle, the higher gear will be engaged. It will take practice to make this move smoothly, but it saves time shifting gears and slightly increases the life of the clutch disc.
- If the car is in 1st gear and you hook up the gear lever, the car will return 0.
- If you release the clutch, increase the throttle and nothing happens, the car is in zero, squeeze the clutch and stomp to the gear lever again.
- It’s okay if you accidentally shift gears. The car won’t break down as long as you make sure the throttle and the gear you just switched to match. [2] X Research Source
Returns the lower number. Reduce the throttle when you squeeze the clutch. Step on the gear lever and release. Smoothly control the clutch and throttle together to match the speed you are moving. If the car is about to stop, release the throttle, squeeze the clutch and continue to press and release the gear lever until the car returns to 1st gear.
Gearshift for semi-automatic transmission

Learn to use controls. All you need to do to shift gears in a car with a semi-automatic transmission is turn the throttle and use the gearshift lever. For semi-automatic transmissions, the clutch is incorporated into the gearshift lever, so using the gear lever activates both of these controls.
Open the car switch. Use your foot to push the car to make sure the car is in zero before starting to shift.
Shift into 1st gear. This is a very simple process as all you have to do is turn the throttle and press one on the gear lever. Stepping to the gear lever will put the car into 1st gear, while hooking the lever up will shift to the remaining gears.
Switch to higher numbers. The process is similar to putting the car into 1st gear. Turn the throttle and hook the gear lever up with your toes. Hooking on one will put the car in 2nd gear, the next hooks will shift into 3rd and so on.
Returns the lower number. To slow down before coming to a complete stop, you can return to a lower gear by stepping forward on the gear lever. Always return the vehicle to zero when the vehicle has come to a complete stop.
Advice
- Riding a motorcycle requires you to be 100% focused on the whole ride. Learn to use muscle memory to operate all the controls, by “playing” with the car in a safe space.
- Keep knuckles pointing to the sky, especially for beginners to avoid twisting the throttle too much in 1st gear.
- When the traffic light turns green, look left and right, and look left again to make sure no one is “trying to pass a yellow light”. Running in front of the person running the red light will be very dangerous.
- When riding a motorcycle, the easiest way to avoid an accident is to recognize a hazard long before you encounter it, or long before it happens to you.
- When the engine is cold, do not pull the throttle all the way, because the car engine can be damaged. Wait for the car engine to warm up!
- A hook or hit is equivalent to a number. You cannot switch from 1st to 5th gear by hooking the shift lever. You must release your foot for each press down or hook up.
- When the vehicle is traveling at very high speed, first gently squeeze the front wheel brake, then gradually increase the brake force until the vehicle reduces to the desired speed, then gently release the brake force. Gently press the rear wheel brake to keep the vehicle stable.
- Some modern motorcycles have a digital dashboard that shows the number of cars being engaged.
- Modern motorcycles mainly use the front wheel brake to stop the vehicle. Using the rear wheel brake at high speeds will have little effect.
- Always leave your car in 1st gear while waiting for a red light. Plan your escape and occasionally glance in the rearview mirror while you wait for the green light to come on, so you can quickly dodge if something bad happens behind you.
- When driving on a major road or highway, you should focus on the road and look for danger signs ahead. Occasionally look in the rearview mirror to see who can’t see you.
Warning
- Listen to the engine sound when shifting higher. If the engine makes a very low roar then you should return to a lower gear. If the engine is loud, you can shift to a higher gear.
- When shifting to 0 from 1, remember to release the clutch slowly to make sure the car is really in 0. If you quickly release the clutch and the car is still in gear, it will suddenly jump or jump forward.
- When returning a lower number, you should return only one number at a time.
- If you don’t shift higher once the engine has hit the rev threshold, the engine could be damaged in the long run.
- If the transmission makes a small “jingle” sound when you shift, try adjusting the carburetor to correct the problem.
