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?

    That’s all? 😁

    I’ve been riding for decades and still do this occasionally.

    You just need to remember to be more authoritative for 1-2 shifts.

    Also, don’t worry about it, it’ll go away.

      Yes that’s all at the moment 😆

      Pretty brand new to riding in general. My previous bike was electric and my cars are hybrid so I have zero experience with a clutch (aside from the mandatory msf course required for licensing in my province).

      I’ll try putting my authority face on while shifting from 1-2. Glad to know it still happens to experienced riders though!
