Unless very experienced in motorcycle repair, I would take this bike to a reputable shop. It's really easy to commit mortal wounds that may not be apparent until your left on the side of the road or it suddenly does some weird shifting or lock-up that puts you down.
1
The gears on a motorcycle run in this order: first, neutral,
second, third, fourth and fifth. When you are moving, shifting up from
first gear will skip over neutral and shift you right into second gear.
The only time that shifting up from first will get you into neutral is
when you are not moving.
2
Pull in the clutch lever and tap the gear lever down until
it stops. This will signify first gear. Pressing the gear lever down
will shift you down one step and pressing it up will shift up one step.
3
Tap the gear lever up one click while still holding in the clutch. This will put the bike into neutral.
4
Start the bike. The bike needs to be in neutral to start.
5
Hold in the clutch lever and tap the shifting lever down to shift to first gear.
6
Release the clutch slowly and give it just enough gas to get moving.
7
Listen to the motor to know when you need to shift. If the
engine is making a low grumbling noise, then it will need to be shifted
down. If it is making a high squealing noise, then it needs to be
shifted up.

hi, if when you start your bike you press the gear lever down to go to 1st from neutral and then pull it back up to go to 2nd,3rd,4th and 5th then the only way to get back into first gear is to press the gear lever down 4 times to get it back into 1st gear their is no quicker way to do this you have to work your way back down the gears.
if your coming to a stop quick then just pull the clutch in and keep pushing the lever down until it dont push down any further it will only go down 1 gear at a time so you will need to push it down 4 times but you dont need to count you can just keep pressing it down the gears until it dont go down any more then you know this is first, you need to keep the clutch in when doing this.
how ever if your slowing down is more gradual then what you can do is go from 5th down to 4th then let engine slow the bike down then when the revs drop down change down to 3rd and so on until you get ot 1st gear.
if your coming to a stop quick say at lights or junction then if the bike is in 5th gear then you can change down the gears once the bike has stopped just hold the clutch in when you stop and keep tapping the gear lever down until you feel that its not going down any more gears this way you know its in 1st without having to cound down the gears, their id no quicker way of going down the gears to get to 1st.
i hope i have read your question right and gave you the answer you was looking for if i got the question wrong then please explain then i can assist you further ok
Early Victory Transmissions (1999-2001) had a recall issued where all transmissions were updated.
The Problem surfaced after introduction and mainly impacted 4th gear.
Victory supported this recall for years at no cost, then they paid 50-60% cost of repairs. I don't think they are still offering help, but it never hurts to ask.
You can go by any Victory Dealer with your VIN and they can pull a history of what recalls were issued for your bike and which recalls were completed.
