How many gears does a motorcycle have?

[CharlotteMarie]

Motorcycles have 6 gears, which are 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5, with 0 being the neutral gear. Gear introduction: Currently, there are mainly two types of gears: the rotary gear and the reciprocal gear (international gear). The rotary gear cycles as 0-1-2-3-4-5-0, while the international gear is non-cyclic as 1-0-2-3-4-5, with the neutral gear located between 1st and 2nd gear. Usage of each gear: 1st gear is usually used for starting and is not suitable for prolonged driving; 2nd gear is a low-speed gear, which can be engaged shortly after starting, and is mostly used for crossing water surfaces or going downhill; 3rd, 4th, and 5th gears are used according to road conditions and speed, with higher gears allowing for faster speeds. Motorcycle gear shifting techniques: 1. First, pull the clutch tightly to completely disengage it; 2. Release the throttle completely, lift the gear shift lever upwards to shift up, or press it downwards to shift down; 3. After shifting up or down, release the clutch and then twist the throttle to accelerate. Precautions: Each gear shift requires pulling and releasing the clutch once; you cannot shift multiple gears while holding the clutch. Shifting multiple gears with one clutch pull is only possible when the motorcycle is completely stopped.
