I agree , also are almost useless on a normal road bike , that kind of rotor are born for off-road bike .... after some years they are also used on road race-bike.

Get a manual tranny, not an auto on a motorcycle you tard. Shifting through the gears is part of the fun of being on a bike. The automatics are for the mentally or physically challenged people.....you aren't mentally or physically challenged are you?

How does shifting work on a bike? I hear you don't have to use the clutch? How does that work?
And you push the pedal down to downshift and up to upshift right?

yea you only need the clutch for launch, after that you just click up...but if your too rpm are too low you cant shift w/o the clutch....cars are the same way just a little harder cuz you have to move the stick left, right, up and downnot just up and down

I think it's harder on a bike, because neutral is between 1st and 2nd....I hit neutral many times when I was learning to ride!

How do you get to 2nd without going through neutral?

I've never ridden, but I thought that from first, it clicks THROUGH neutral in one single upward motion, so from first, when you pull up on the lever, it goes "click-click," through neutral before you release the lever, whereas from 2nd to 3rd it only goes "click." On the 1-2, if you release the lever at the first "click," THEN you end up in neutral.
Am I right?
I've also heard that if you actually care about the bike and want it to last, you'll always use the clutch for shifting.
