Shifting Gears - Honda FourTrax Recon TRX250TM 2019 Owner's Manual

UPSHIFTING SEQUENCE
DOWNSHIFTING SEQUENCE
Your ATV has five forward gears: 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5.
The shift lever is located near the left footpeg. One full stroke of the
shift lever shifts the transmission to the next higher or lower gear in
the shifting sequence. The shift lever automatically returns to the
horizontal position when released.
To upshift to a higher gear, put the toe of your boot under the shift
lever and raise it one full stroke. To downshift, step on the shift lever
and depress it one full stroke.
To select reverse, see Riding in Reverse, page 57.
After starting the engine and letting it warm up, follow these
procedures:
1. With the transmission in neutral, release the parking brake, but
continue squeezing the rear brake lever.
