Re: Trouble getting it into neutral and 1st gear

i learned that if you're having problems getting into 1st from N, release the clutch completely and then close again. it'll work. 100% for me.

Had a friend tell me just the other day that he forgot that he was in neutral when the light turned green. He gave a bit of throttle, simultaneously realizing he had to shift down while quickly reacting to the traffic that was waiting/coming up behind him, and ended up unintentionally getting a full vertical wheelie on his ducati into the biggest intersections in the neighborhood. :lol: (no one was hurt so that's got to be one of the funniest stories i've heard on a bike) it was even better because he was totally not bragging but giving me the "holy sh!t" look on his face.
