Hey all, can someone tell me how the gears select on a gp100?

I.E one down four up etc?

Thanks!

Can't you get any gears? a lot of Suzukis have the gear pattern cast/etched on the cover close to the lever, have a look.

Yea I'm getting gears but they seem to be really random, I'm going first second then what I think is third nearly dies as if its too high s gear, but then I go one above the near dying gear and its like I'm in second again its bizarre! ??

I had that for a while when I first started riding mine - 1 down, 3 up (4 gears) but it seemed to jump straight from 2nd to 4th sometimes, turns out the clutch spring had failed and snapped (the one just under the left hand cover, before you get to the flywheel parts)
Replaced that and it was fine.

Or, my favourite - from 1st - going into neutral instead of 2nd
GRRR!

1 down 4 up.

Just stamp the gears down to 1st and then up to get neutral. Your neutral light wil come on then. Its more diffiult to select gears when not moving so you would have to release the clutch/blip the throttle to get it through the gears. When your riding it will be so much easier to shift

lol to above.

its 1 down 4 up anyway - I have a GP100.

I have also ridden classic bikes (British) which has the gear lever on the other side and its 1 up and 3/4 down lol
