I go from stop to start in first gear. All is nice. I then shift up and my bike roars. This is because I’m in neutral instead of second gear.

Does anyone else struggle with this? I’m new. Any tips or is it just a matter of getting good?

    Tilting your ankle sounds right, that’s what I do. Just tilt firmly until the shifter stops moving, release your foot, then release the clutch and ease back on the throttle.

    I’ve never had a bike that told me what gear it is in, the old bike was a 1997 Suzuki Katana.
