New to the forum, and also wanted to figure out the proper way to shift the shaft drive on my 84 Big Red 200ES.
It is 1 of 2 ways in my mind. The way I have been doing it for the 2 weeks I've owned it is driving in 1st accelerating, let off the throttle, shift to 2nd, once I feel it pop into 2nd I continue accelerating. OR I noticed I can shift gears while accelerating (throttle pushed in), but it seemed like a rough shift.
Didn't know if either way mattered more, just don't want to damage anything from improper shifting.. I'm used to clutches so not having one really throws me off..
Thanks!:funnyhonda:
