I keep finding neutral (lemmy.ca)

I go from stop to start in first gear. All is nice. I then shift up and my bike roars. This is because I’m in neutral instead of second gear.

Does anyone else struggle with this? I’m new. Any tips or is it just a matter of getting good?

That’s a good tip. I hadn’t really considered eyeing the dash for those shifts. I usually just glance at it to check my speed and rpm. I’ll try that later today! Thank you
