If you are in 5th gear can you go straight to neutrel to stop on a motorcycle? |
[Edit] |
Answer
No, you cannot switch the transmission in one action as inquired, with a manual system. You can however pull in the clutch and effectively be in neutral from any gear.
Answer
Although you cannot do it in one step, if you're cruising along in 5th gear, you can pull in the clutch and click the shifter until you're back in neutral, yes. Because most inline 4-cylinder motorcycles don't have significant compression braking, downshifting 5-4-3-2 to stop at a signal is more good habit than a requirement, as brake pads will generally last a fairly long time.
Answer
My Bike came with a tiny lever (called neutral finder) just behind the shifter that when pressed, brings the bike to a neutral from any gear (except the 1st) Of course, mine is a classic bike n I don't suppose they put those things in the modern bikes.
