Depends if you have the 4 speed or the 5 speed and how you ride. Just listen to the sound of the engine. and keep it out of the red zone on the tach.

The Honda VT750 Shadow has a six speed transmission. The pattern is one down and five up. There is no reverse gear.
One down, four up
One down, four up.
I know in 79" they were 1 down and 4 up.
1st - down Neutral - up 2nd - up 3rd - up 4th - up
If you cannot shift into first gear on a motorcycle, you should not ride one.. So says the spida. But if you must, click down and you are in first. 2,3,4,5 are all up after that. neutral is a fragile click in between 1 & 2.
Yes motorcycle gears will shift up and down.
with your left foot!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
on the selector at the trans. 15 or 13mm wrench to loosen and just move very slightly
rev first gear out to 10,000rpm, then grab clutch, and shift up
If your asking how to down shift on a motorcycle, if i was you id get back off of it and park it and place a for sale sign in it, unless you actually like pain :)
