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?

    Again depends on the bike. I have big feet, so it’s really nothing more than a flick of the ankle to change up, and changing down is a tap similar to tapping your foot to a drum beat.

    You never want to take your foot off the pegs / floor boards when operating the controls.
