	One down, four up is the shift pattern. This is how the gearshift pattern was designed. Go to Google and search "Motorcycle Shift Pattern" They are many, many informative web-sites to be found there. __________________ The first 5 days after a weekend are always the hardest................................

	KJK/USA is correct, one down/four up. It is called a sequential gearbox. This allows you to select either first gear or second gear from neutral, but remaining gears must be selected in order. __________________ Semper Ubi Sub Ubi

	In the good old days when we had a British motor cycle industry the gear change was on the right and it was 1 up and 2 down or 3 down, 5 speed gearboxes were rare as there was plenty of torque in the old "sloggers" then.
