I got my new bike yamaha ss 125 red black model yesterday.
I am new to bike and try to learn it. Please provide information for these questions,

It was difficult for me to switch the gear from 1 to 2 gear, what can I do ?
Neutraling the bike is very difficult for me, and gear is 1 down and 4 up so guys please help me an easy way to handle the gear and make it to netural.
I want to know the Gear speed ratio, like in 1^st gear what is the max and low speed I need to drive?

@kumarbiker
You'll get used to the 1down-4up posiiton with 2-3 days.

All the mechanical components in your bike are new and hence, there is lot of friction between the moving parts - which makes it feel rough. The new bike will need some running in wear out the friction and to make the mechanical components smooth. Once they have set into the proper levels of wear, they will operate smoothly.

I do not know what speeds this will account to. But I would say keep it below 4-5 k rpm in all gears. Should be fine.

Does the the SS125 comes with a tacho? The YBR125 definitely hasn't got one.

Not sure of the 1st three gears, but the approximate speeds which I used to get at 4000RPM & 5000RPM are as indicated below

4^th - 32kph@4000rpm, 45kph@5000rpm
5^st - 48kph@4000rpm, 60kph@5000rpm

Yes, the SS125 comes with a Tacho. And it does the same 60kph@ 5000rpm.

My SS125 does 60 kph at about 4.6k - 4.7k rpm

Well, you may be right. I had 100/90 Dunlop Monsters which did affect speed & acceleration a bit - but were excellent for touring. Boy, I do miss my Gladi a lot!!!

What I was trying to ask is in 5th gear can I ride in the speed between 40 to 45kph?

You can, but I'd stress you to maintain 40-45 in 4th gear only. In 5th gear, 40kph corresponds to 3000RPM - which is at the verge of snatching the engine, and resulting poor torque.

Yes, those tyres would certainly affect the speed and acceleration.

My bike is in 100% stock condition. No mods applied.

I paid a closer attention this time, my bike did 60 kmph at 4500 rpm to be exact. The road was good and traffic was thin.
