Re: Woah.. worth a read esp modded gear people
To me it's a safety issue...coasting with clutch disengaged or in neutral
means you aren't in full control of the vehicle.

Re: Woah.. worth a read esp modded gear people
WOW I had no idea. I don't do it for long stretches - If I'm going
down a driveway or parking lot I tend to put it in neutral, push the
clutch in, and wait till I know what gear I'll need. If there are no
cars at the bottom of the small incline - 2nd, and if a car
approaches, 1st. I'm always in 5th on the highway even down steep
hills. Thanks for the xtra info. Sorry for making you think I ride
around in neutral!
