Mod 2 Test Tip - Gears

[philshaq]

Cheers rusty, the instructors have been telling us to use all the gears 1st for slow speed, 2nd and 3rd for acceleration and 4/5/6 for holding road speed.


I agree with the none coasting tip, but just can't practically imagine (and haven't been able to in practice) going down 6 gears and effectively using engine braking in the majority of them in the space it takes to slow a bike down in the example I've given.


I'll probably just do what comes naturally and that will probably be what you suggested and using a lower gear so I don't have to concentrate so much on the downshifts!


Any other suggestions?
