Question

what is the shifting pattern on my 1974 honda 350 four?? i was told its 1 down 4 up is this true or viceversa

Answer 1

YES..  1 down .. 4 up...   unless the bikes been on the race track... or some one who had the bike before changed the shift to a race set up...

then it would be backwards..  1 up .. 4 down..

they do this so that you can change down gears when your leaned over a long way..(Not enough room under the shift lever to get your toes in there).. so you can just push it down one...

Answer 2

yep

Neutral

One down

Four up

But you should be able to feel it easy enough

Answer 3

Ye one down four up. Most everything Ive  ever ridden is like that, but i know for sure the Honda is because i used to have one.

Answer 4

Starting in Neutral, it would be ONE DOWN, and 4 UP.

You have to go a lot farther back before they get to be strange shifters.

We had a lot of guys in town that wore a Shirt that said DON"T SHOOT ME

I'm ONLY Shifting Gears.

Some cop claimed he had seen a suspicious motion of his hand (side shift on an old INDIAN,) and blown him away, just for riding down the road.

You don't get fun like that anymore.
