    Most Kawasaki bikes have what's called a positive neutral finder, which prevents you from shifting into second when standing still to make it easier to shift into neutral when stopped.
    Ryan from FortNine actually made a video about this called "Why Kawasaki Shifts Better than Every Other Brand"

    First bike I ever wanted to buy was a Honda DN-01, such great looks, very unique. The engine is an anemic 600cc coupled to a first gen automatic trans, terrible idea from Honda. If I had the time and money I would get a DN-01 and do an engine and trans swap.

    If you need to turn it in a tight spot basically stand on the pad of the kickstand and tilt the weight of the bike up onto the kickstand and you can pivot it on the kickstand and spin around in one spot right on that pivot point of the kickstand

  • @Z32andCG6
    @Z32andCG6 6 месяцев назад

    It always surprises me when people work around vehicles but know nothing about bikes. The transmission by design won't let you click through all the gears while sat still, at a minimum you have to be rolling the the bike back and forth a few inches so the shafts and collars and gears can move and slot into different gears.
    Awesome pick up due to someone else's lack of knowledge LOL. My uncle has one of these and it is HEAVY but effortlessly fast.

    be cautious of raising the rear, they might lowered it on purpose to account for the extended swingarm. if you raise the back too much it wobbles at high speed.
