    As I posted, I would never drink and drive no matter what the circumstances. Not worth the agro if I got nabbed. I don't own a BBQ and anyroadup, I like a curry as much as the next man. And it was no hassle going to collect it. :p

    Yeah I got my left and right mixed from memory. I haven't ridden since 2017 and my memory isn't too good at present. It's why I don't usually post stuff anymore.

    Just found a piccy of one - the second "neutral" lever is the short one behind the kick starter.

    You need to go down the gears sequentially. Normally. I say normally because I had a 1959 Royal Enfield Constellation when I were a yoof, it had a second lever on the gear box and whichever gear I was in, pressing the second lever put it in neutral.

    Probably the rider was in neutral and holding the bike on the footbrake when static. Then change to the other foot to put it in gear before moving off.

    I has nevva driven or ridden a motubike but I worked on my mates even stripping down gearboxes. All this before I got a car. So, question, am I right in thinking that you don't go down the gears?

    The bike I was taught on was a Jap with one down and four up (YB100?) The XT500 I rode illegally to the instructors house was the other way up like usual. I used to park it in the next street over so he didn't twig..

    British bikes usually had the gear lever operated by the right foot. This changed in the 1970's to the left foot due to most of the rest of world using this arrangement. Changing up to a higher gear could be by moving the foot upwards or...

    Lever on the right side of the engine is foot controlled. Usually it is 1 down and 5 up but depends on how many gears. My bike had 6. You use the clutch lever on the right handle bar as you would in a car. The foot lever always returns to centre.
