The older Right Hand Side (RHS) Royal Enfield Bullet motorcycles typically follow a "1 down, 3 up" gear shift pattern. Here's a breakdown of the gear shift pattern for such motorcycles:
Neutral: The neutral position is usually located between first gear and second gear. You can find neutral by gently tapping the gear lever from the first gear down position. The neutral indicator on the instrument panel should also light up.
First gear: To shift into first gear, press the gear lever downwards with your foot until you feel a firm click. This gear is typically used for starting from a complete stop or riding at very low speeds.
Upshift to second gear: To shift from first gear to second gear, lift your foot up on the gear lever (towards you) until you hear and feel the click. Repeat the same process for subsequent upshifts.
Upshift to third gear: To shift from second gear to third gear, lift your foot up on the gear lever again, repeating the process.
Upshift to fourth gear: To shift from third gear to fourth gear, lift your foot up on the gear lever once more.
Note: "1 down, 3 up" indicates that you shift down from neutral to first gear and then shift up three times to reach the fourth gear. To downshift, you would follow the reverse process, pressing the gear lever down to shift to lower gears.
It's important to consult the owner's manual or refer to the specific model's gear shift pattern, as slight variations may exist depending on the specific year and model of the Royal Enfield Bullet motorcycle.
