Changing from 1st gear to neutral?

Question

My 125cc giovanni dirt bike has the regular 1-N-2-3-4-5 gears and i sometimes shut my dirt bike off because I let go of the clutch too quickley. After it shut's off I try to start it up again but it don't come out of 1st gear..... What's the problem?

Answer 1

Take it out of gear before you attempt to start it.  Even a beginner ought to know that much. And I assume that since you regularly kill the engine, that you are a new rider.  The transmission gears are "Synchronized", so that they mesh properly, and for that to work the transmission has to be able to turn.  So when you killed the engine, you killed the "syncro" effect.

Answer 2

Make sure you have the clutch fully engaged before shifting into first. then crack the throttle open to increase RP M's while simultaneously releasing the clutch. if you simply shift into first without doing this the bike will stall and the engine will shut down.
