Re: [ST] gear and engine resistance

[Colt4530 <colt4530@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

I don't push start a bike in first, I try to use 3rd if I can.

Let's look at this another way.  How much engine braking do you get in 
6th?  or 1st?  Which one will slide the wheel if you dump the clutch 
while going too fast?  That's the gear that allows the engine to provide 
the most resistance to turning.
