Noob question about dirt biking?

Question

I know how to ride a dirt bike in first gear i just don't know when you need to shift.

Answer 1

Listen to the motor...have you ever driven a manual vehicle? When it gets louder and more high pitched...thats when you shift! Your not going to go very fast in 1st gear.

Answer 2

Shift up to go faster,downshift to slow down...Try second gear as soon as you get the bike moving,you'll figure it out from there...

Answer 3

when you hear the bike rev. (im a 13yr. old girl and i know that) at least thats what you do for 4wheelers
