Can a Motorcycle Be Parked Without Shifting to Neutral?
1 Answers
It depends on the situation. If the road is flat, shifting to neutral is better and beneficial for the next startup. On uneven ground, parking with a gear engaged is preferable. Since motorcycles lack a parking brake, parking with a gear engaged can act as a brake, preventing the motorcycle from sliding downhill and avoiding accidents. Below is relevant information: 1. Gear Correspondence: Motorcycle gears correspond to speed. 2. Braking Methods: Braking on normal road conditions: When the speed is slow and the road conditions are normal, you can disengage the clutch and brake slowly and calmly (this avoids the back-and-forth oscillation impact of the power transmission system, which can make motorcycle passengers feel uncomfortable). When the speed is fast and the road ahead is normal, you can first reduce the throttle slightly, use the engine's counterforce to decelerate, and simultaneously apply gentle pressure to the front and rear brakes (always use both brakes together to avoid skidding). After the speed decreases, you can then downshift.
