Can you start off in 2nd gear on a motorcycle?

In most cases, you shouldn’t start off in 2nd gear – it creates significant wear to your clutch and causes your engine to stall. In other cases like going downhill, starting off in 2nd gear is fine – it can save you the hassle of switching gears and won’t hurt your engine. May 30, 2021
