To know when to shift gears while riding, pay attention to the engine's RPM (revolutions per minute) and the bike's speed. Shift up when the engine reaches a higher RPM, typically around 2,500 to 3,000 RPM for most motorcycles, to maintain optimal power without straining the engine. Conversely, shift down when the RPM drops too low, usually around 1,500 RPM, to avoid stalling. Additionally, listen to the engine's sound and feel the bike's response to help determine the right moments to shift.
That's how you're taught - use the tach to determine when to shift, and the speedometer for recovery speed if you lose a gear. After a while, you get to the point where you know when to shift by the sound of the motor.
I don't know but the girls are in the wrong gear.
To fix a gear shift light, the first thing that needs to be done is checking the fuse box to make sure that all fuses are intact. The reason you would fix a gear shift light is, so you know what gear you are in. Driving in the wrong gear can cause transmission problems.
When driving a stick shift, you shift up as the engine begins to rev in each gear. You will downshift as the engine begins to slow.
from what I gathered, the hold button keeps it in a certain gear while cruising on the freeway, so it doesnt always shift. I dont know what use that will be.
It slips in gear, takes along while to shift up, revs more than usual on hills, won't back up on steep hill.
You can tell when your car will take too long to shift to a higher gear when accelerating. Your transmission can also jump out of gear as well.
The riding levels were removed a while ago.
Second gear is the default gear when the computer detects a malfunction. You need to have the transmission computer checked for codes to know what to diagnose.
The clutch will be very loose and it will be hard to come out of any gear.
The synchronizers in the transmission are bad. If the gears grind when trying to get it into 1st or 2nd then it's probably the synchro's. If you just can't get it into gear then the 'shift rod bushing' or the "shift couplers" are worn. They are under the gear shift inside the shift tunnel. If you don't know if they have been replaced or not they probably haven't been. Buy the Bentley manual and it will walk you thru it.
I know that my 1995 XLT has a brake interlock switch, that doesn"t allow my automatic transmission to shift out of park into gear unless the brake pedal is depressed - I don't know if that is what your problem is.
