Motorcycles have a ratchet shifter. When you push the shifter down or up, the shifter returns to the middle position. First gear is selected by pushing the shifter down once from neutral. All other gear selections are by pulling the shifter up. If I remember correctly the Ninja has five gears. That would mean once down for first, once up for second, up again for third and so on. To come down through the gears is the reverse, push down on the shifter to go from fifth to fourth, once more down for third, an so on. Neutral is in between first and second. With the bike in first gear, lift the shifter gently, watching the green neutral light. When the light comes on, stop lifting the shifter. Hope this helps. Don

Ask a Kawasaki dealer, or try looking on the Kawasaki website.
The shift pattern on the 2000 Kawasaki 750 Vulcan is one down and five up. It is the common pattern for Kawasaki of the era.

Your 1997 Kawasaki Ninja 500 might not shift from first gear at a dead stop due to several potential issues. Common causes include a faulty clutch that isn't fully disengaging, an issue with the shift lever mechanism, or old, contaminated transmission fluid. Additionally, if the bike is in gear with the clutch pulled in but still won't shift, it could indicate problems with the shift linkage or internal transmission components. It's best to check the clutch operation and inspect the shift mechanism for any obstructions or wear.
