New bike-won't fire!

Hey Toy,
A little confused why you need to pedal to shift. Are you trying to use the clutch when shifting? Not necessary. You are correct that the gears need to be spinning to shift. Just accelerate and when you want to shift, let off the throttle slightly, shift gears and reapply the throttle. No clutch necessary. When coming to a stop simply down shift into first whenever you want, the freewheel will just make the bike coast so you could be doing 60mph and shift into 1st and it won't make a difference. Then when you are about to come to a complete stop pull in the clutch. Hope this helps.

Yes, you are right, I was just confused. It takes a bit of time to figure things out. I can now start the bike with my right foot only, I just get it in the 2 o'clock position when I'm rolling and it starts by the time my peddle is at the 6 o'clock. One thing I did learn though is to make sure it's "in gear" before moving. I had come to a stop sign and I don't think the chain was on the teeth because when I took off, everything went into the spokes, tearing my derailleur into bits.
There are other things you need to get used to, one being the lag that happens because of all the chains . When I'm coasting I can go "vroom vroom" as if it were in neutral.
It's really is amazing being able to start off from a stop without having to peddle and when in high gear it sure is nice to hear the motor at a low rpm. I never thought of it until now but I guess gas mileage will improve, along with the service life of the engine.
I guess in the morning, I'll try what you said about being able to shift into first at high speed.
Thanks.
