: why do manual motorcycle gear goes from 1>N>2>3>4>5>6 and not N>1>2>3>4>5>6
In: 1913
Motorcycles designed with that type of transmission don’t have a neutral but instead stop the shift process between two gears being disengaged/engaged, leaving all gears disengaged and causing a neutral. It will only fall into this position if you very lightly shift, so while shifting normally it skips right over the neutral notch.
