I always do that...LoL..

This is why im looking this up sometimes I don’t know if I’m in third or second

Exactly same bro, now I can buy the bike I want without worrying that it doesn't have a gear position indicator

How did it go?

That all depends on the size of the bike and how it's geared... lile some bikes u have to be in 1st when slowing down n turning cuz if ur in 2nd it'll stall whereas some u can be in 2nd or even 3rd and ur fine

If listening to the engine is your determining factor for shifting gears why have a tach?

That’s what I’m scared of sometimes when I shift to second I hit neutral instead but I’ve only done it practicing I haven’t done it out on the road just scared of it actually happening

A gear indicator will not keep you from doing a false neutral. Pretty much all bikes have a neutral light though even if they don't have a gear indicator, usually depicted by a big "N" icon on the dash. If you just want to know if you've hit neutral, then that is the light to look for.

@@Sunesen That is true, but if you shift down from second and the light isn't on, you don't know if it's in first or false neutral until let go of the clutch.

@@2m2a2r2k2 But would a gear indicator be able to tell you that you are in a false neutral? Or would it just "lie" to you?

@@Sunesen What I experienced so far on mopeds and during my driving lessons is that the gear indicator always turns off when it's in false neutral, otherwise it always shows 1 or N.

Yes that's right, for example that's where the gear indicator helps. When I drove MT07 as a beginner this helped because just like that I had to stop/emergency break because of another driver taking my right of way, and in my panic of quickly downshifting to 1st again so I can move from the crossroads the bike would kinda lock up because I was too quickly trying to downshift while standing still. Then the gear indicator helped because if you rock the bike back and forth it slips back into gear, make sure it's the 1st gear and move on. But of course that happens when you are an inexperienced rider, he took my right of way so I shouldn't have panicked and just calmly shift back to 1st to move on and be thankful that the blind dumbas5 didn't run me over.

I have been a beginner in the past lol 🤣 Changing gears on a motorcycle isn't really the point of the video. I've done video tutorials on clutch and changing gears here if you need a few pointers: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/kN6Be7KBydvOhqM.html kzfaq.info/get/bejne/e9N9acqIzd-qhYE.html It would be too much info in a single video to include clutch control and gears, but hopefully the videos above will help.

@@GoblinRides gear control shifting & when to shift & how to shift should've been the first in the video for new rider's certain things was actually basic,

Dude, you need help 🤣 "how to change gears on a motorcycle" isn't the title of this video mate. I'm sorry if this video wasn't what you were looking for, but the videos I've linked above will help you. All the best.

@@GoblinRides why you mad, but anyway my first motorcycle was at 15 years old a big bike at that, who you talkin too like that, i know more than you on bikes, im a mechanic watch your mouth, i fix cars & motorcycle for a living stay in your lane,

@@paserpase2870 Yep , totally mad of course 🤣 I'm sure you're a real expert 😂 so according to you, we all need to be mechanics to make helpful motorcycle content, sure 🤦‍♂️ Your logic and assumptions just make you look stupid mate. Maybe if you read the title, you'd understand, but at this point, I'm talking to a brick wall. Apologies again for not making the video in line with your divine understanding of motorcycles and content creation. Good luck
