Transmissions

[Tja]

I was taking it off a trailer and was surprised that in gear in rolled backwards. I’m glad it’s as light as it is. Is this because of the semi auto clutch? Or do I have a problem? My other bikes sure don’t roll backwards, but they have standard clutches.
thank you

I accidentally left mine in 1st gear yesterday after shutting the engine down. When I went to push it backwards into my garage, it would not roll. I had to put it in neutral. It's the 1st time I've done that. My understanding is that you aren't supposed to shift the transmission while the engine is not running, and you should be moving when downshifting into neutral(or any other gear). I'm no expert so I could stand to be corrected if I'm wrong about that.

Perhaps in a higher gear it will roll backwards?

Use your front brake.

Use your front brake.

Thanks I never would have thought of that

Mine will roll backward but not forward in gear I believe.

Just glad it's not reversed, as it is the bike can't roll forward and defeat the side-stand.

Sometimes I roll in reverse in 1st to park it. Guess it shouldn’t do that?

Sometimes I roll it off the center stand in gear and I cringe. Consciously have to remember to put it in neutral.

I like that it won’t roll forward in gear. Helps on the trails if you have to hop off a minute on hills.
