What is Neutral Gear on a Motorcycle?
1 Answers
Motorcycle neutral gear refers to a state where the motorcycle's engine is running but the motorcycle is not moving. Motorcycle gear classifications: Motorcycle gears are divided into sequential shifting and international shifting. Sequential shifting follows the order 123450, where after 5th gear comes 0 (neutral). International shifting: 102345, with neutral located between 1st and 2nd gear, acting as a half-step. The reason neutral is placed between 2nd gear: It facilitates easy access to low gears when needed; most of the time you can start in 1st gear or 2nd gear. After coasting in neutral, if you stop you can shift down to 1st gear to start, and if you don't stop, you can quickly shift up to 2nd gear or higher.
