easy questions for you guys--a friend was telling me motorcycles should move into 1st gear with no throttle if you are easy enough.. My xs400 will not do it, without stalling, my RPM's immediately start going down as I let the throttle out... So, does this depend on the bike, is he right, wrong? Thanks all...
 
I think this kinda depends on how big a bike we're talking about and how it's geared. I don't think a stock XS will do it, it's hardly a powerhouse.

Unless you are reeeeeal careful with the clutch.
