whats the go with a lot of the new pitbikes having gears all up? is there any advantage to this or not really much difference. I dont think it would make much difference while moving just starting off got to remember 1st is up not down.
 
These chineese engines are prove to wear out quickly. When this happens you can select neutral when changing gears (especially changing from 3rd to 2nd). The all up pattern eliminates this as a POSSIBLE problem. Plenty of people have conventional patterns 1n234 and have no dramas but SOME get all sorts of greif with false neutrals.

I would prefer a 1n234 pattern but I chose a all up for this very reason.
 
The advantage with all up gears is so that you dont cop any false neutrals when shifting down hard from first to second or from first up to second mate.
