[QUOTE="rmc_olderthandirt, post: 1231079, member: 68872"] The basics are the same: clutch perch is on the left handlebar. Front brake on right handlebar Gas is twist grip on right handlebar. Rear brake is pedal operated by the right foot. the gear shift is a pedal operated by the left foot, press down to shift down, lift up to shift up How/when you shift can be dramatically different, especially if you are riding a two stroke 125. To climb hills or provide performance you MUST keep the small two strokes "in the power band", which basically means keep them rev'ed up. If the hill is too steep you need to shift down early. If you are trying to get going you may need to slip the clutch a whole bunch. The biggest difference between riding a street bike and riding a dirt bike is the likelihood of crashing. On a street bike you might go down so you wear a helmet, and maybe a leather jacket. On a dirt bike you WILL go down, so you wear a much better helmet, gloves, chest protector, kneed pads, etc. Rod [/QUOTE]
