1 Answers
It is best to downshift a motorcycle to neutral when parking. While it is possible to park the motorcycle in fifth gear, you will still need to shift into first gear the next time you start. Therefore, for convenience during your next ride, it is advisable to downshift the motorcycle to neutral when parking. Additional Information: Motorcycle Braking System: The handlebars on both ends are equipped with rearview mirrors and various electrical switches. The handle grips and brake levers control the front wheel brake, clutch, and carburetor via cables. Important Notes: For normal parking, use the brakes in a controlled manner as in anticipatory braking. For emergency stops, apply the brakes as in emergency braking. Once the vehicle comes to a complete stop, let the engine idle, then turn off the ignition switch to shut down the engine and prevent overheating.
