How do i ride a dirtbike? I dont understand the shifting and turning..?

Answer 1

You really need to ask someone in person. It's easy but you gotta get the hang of it. It's like driving a stick shift, only you shift with your foot and gas it with your hands. Someone showing you how is easiest. If you don't have that option...keep reading.

With the clutch pulled in, click the gear down several times until it won't click again. That is first gear. Gently click it up one notch...that is neutral. Next one up is second...next up is third...etc..you shift to higher gears when you hear the motot rev. I encourage you to use the foot brake instead of the hand brake until you get a feel for it. You could go flying. You have to give it a little gas as you slowly let out the clutch to take off. If you give it too much gas..you will likely pop a wheelie,...which is fun, but only after you gain a little experience and become comfortable on the bike.

Good luck

Answer 3

Let someone show you how the shifter works. You just use the front of your foot to push the shifter down or up to pick a gear. After a little practice you'll get the hang of it. It's not that difficult at all.

Ask in the MOTORcycle section, someone there is bound to have a good answer or a link to a video.
