[Water Warrior 2]

A great number of Rebels come from the factory with the free of charge 1st gear hang up option. The easiest way to find first is apply normal downward force on the shifter and flip the kill switch. It will drop into gear. Restart engine and away you go. Of course this is meant for situations when you are already stopped. Lynda was ready to set fire to the Rebel she had in training until the instructor mentioned this trick. I lucked out with a Virago 250 with a very loud exhaust............ARGH !!
