Question

Can anyone one tell me how to shift on a chopper, or if you have a guide that would be awesome?

Answer 1

what are you kidding learn to ride. I can understand if you have an old school with a jockey but if not you need to take a MSF class

Answer 2

Are you talking about using a jockey shift and suicide clutch?  If so, with a 5 speed it's usually 1st forward, N,2,3,4,5. With an older 4 speed jockey it's 1st all the way back and upshift towards the front. If you're talking about a 4 speed jockey with an old jockey top tranny the shift pattern is the same but you're gonna need lots of practice to get it right.

Answer 3

so its your first chopper? Most of em are first up the rest back.

Answer 4

1-rock the clutch forwards with your left toe, #2-reach down with your left hand & slap the jockey shift lever forward for up shifts or back for down shifts, #3-rock the clutch pedal back with your left heel. repeat as necessary.

Answer 5

Pull the clutch, shift with foot on the same side as the shifter, and slowly let go of clutch again...

Answer 6

i find i still squeeze the sh*t outta the left grip when it has a foot clutch and jockey shift regardless (even with nothing there).... old habits die hard, it'll just take lots of practice

Answer 7

So you bought a chopper you don't even know how to ride lol.  

Answer 8

same as any other bike...

squeeze clutch, shift, release clutch...
