This may be very obvious to some.
I was having a heck of a time shifting smoothly on my Trail 125.
This helped me and may help others.
Originally I was
up-shifting:
1st gear to 2nd gear at ~18mph
2nd gear to 3rd gear at ~26mph
3rd gear to 4th gear at ~35mph
and down-shifting:
4th gear to 3rd gear at ~35mph
3rd gear to 2nd gear at ~25mph
2nd gear to 1st gear at ~15mph
I then read the manual, which states on page 30:
1st to 2nd at 12mph
2nd to 3rd at 19mph
3rd to 4th at 25mph
and
4th to 3rd at 16mph
3rd to 2nd at 12mph
and then blank, which I assume means I can come to a stop in 2nd gear and down shift into 1st gear before taking off.
This has made riding my trail exponentially more enjoyable and turning much less of a chore.
