I have a 2009 Mastiff with the baker 6 speed and have been working overseas for the last few years and I forgot the shifting sequence can anybody help me out
I know it sounds stupid but I haven't been on the bike in almost 5 years and wanted to take it out for a ride after putting all new fluids in it
Thank you ahead of time

Just put it on Drive and she will go. The trick is finding reverse, I am still looking for it. I am sorry, but I could help myself on this question I just had to answer.

Ride safe

I'm not laughing. I did the same thing about 20 years ago. Things you don't give much thought to, that are done instinctively, are forgotten easily, if not done all the time.

Only ever seen 1 bike that wasn't 1 down, X up

It was 4 or 5 down -- guy built it to race and he liked it and felt he shifted faster that way.

I like the old husqvarna bikes...the where different thats forsure....i had a 250 two stroke... My old sand drag bikes ,when i built them they where way to low to the ground to get ur foot under the shifter but i already had a plan in place....i would turn the shifter around backward....cut the shifter down and weld a new piece on so i could better catch me heel of my foot on....so ofcourse it ass backwards shifting but i like them like that.... pull up for 1st and the rest down...i had cut transmissions in them to shift without the clutch...lmao if you held ur foot down by accident it woud go thru all the gear before u could blink an eye....cost me alot if races till i got use to it

Yep, I had a Husqvarna 250cc when I was a kid. Shifter on the right, kickstart on the left. Really F'ed up! I couldn't kick it with my left leg. I had to stand on the left side of the bike and kick it with my right leg.

Mine didn't even have a kickstand, it was a retired racing bike. 250 punched 80 over. 57 tooth rear sprocket and a 14 tooth front.

It's funny you say that! Mine didn't have a kickstand either. I had to lean it against the wall of the barn where I kept it. Yep, the rear sprocket was huge. Almost as big as the rim. It was a six-speed, but top speed was about 60 mph.

In the mid-seventies I bought my son to be a new Maico 400 motocross bike. To my surprise my wife had a girl. It has only been ridden three times and has sat in the garage since then. Now I'm hoping to get it into Skip Barber motorcycle museum. Keith

I've seen those 400 Maico MX,ers about break a leg when kick starting. Bad ass. I had a Yamaha 400 MXB which had a compression release set up that was kicker operated. Easy start, no kickback.;)

I will tell you when you ride 4, 5 and 6 speeds it does confuse us, but when I ride my 57 Sportster the shifting is on the right. it is a bitch with the braking. That slam shift down is quit the jolt.
