You change the gears using your gear lever (obviously). On almost any bike out there you upshift by pushing the lever up and downshift by tapping it down, this also makes sense, doesn't it? Easy to remember...

The actual shifting goes like this:

Step1: Roll back on the throttle

Step2: Pull in the clutch

Step3: Shift

Step4: Release the clutch (gently)

Step5: Power up (also gently)

Some people might say things like : "You can get from 3rd to 4th without using clutch" or "you can downshift without using clutch" etc... Well, if you're not using clutch you risk damaging your gearbox which is quite expensive to repair. these features vary on different bikes so unless that person has a bike just like yours, don't do it!
