Which gear should a motorcycle use when waiting at a red light?

[OBennett]

When a motorcycle stops to wait at a red light, it should be shifted into neutral gear, and then shifted into first gear to start when the light turns green. If the waiting time at the red light is very short, it can also be left in first gear, and when the light turns green, simply release the clutch and apply the throttle to start. It is not advisable to use a high gear when starting. There is a special situation here that some riders might adopt: downshifting to second gear while holding the clutch and continuing to coast. This operation can cause some damage to the vehicle, but as long as you don't rev the throttle recklessly, this damage can be ignored. In unavoidable situations where you have to stop in gear, you can completely choose first or second gear, close the throttle, or turn off the engine to stop.
