In: Motorcycles, Motorcycle Safety, Motorcycle Buying and Selling [Edit categories]

Answer:

Release the throttle and engage the foot shift to engage the clutch. next grab the shifter and slowly push the gear forward into first. The next 3 gears and straight back on the shifter. The 1939 Indian Scout has a 3 speed transmission. When shifting from 1st to 2nd please do the same as shifting into first gear. That's it. The slower the rpms on the motor the easier it will go into gear.
