hey guys i recently just got my cbr 250 and after practicing a while with low speed 10-20 mph at parking lots and using 1st and 2nd gear. i took my cbr on my first ride through main traffic roads.......maybe using 4th or 5th gear.....the one thing i found is that when i downshift i usually just hold the clutch in then downshift one at a time as i slow down on a stop light without letting the clutch out.....i found out that the gear box doesnt work that way and wont shift so i ended up with too high gear at a stop so i stalled the engine...thankfully i wasnt left at an awkward and embarrassing place since there wasnt much traffic but it was definitely an eye opener. if anyone has any advice i would gladly welcome it especially when it comes to smoother gear shifting up or down since im still breaking-in the engine
