If you go manual shifting on a 650 what are the shift points and haw many "gears" can you shift up to?

I only use manual mode to shift into 6th. :thumbup:

And I also use manual mode when stopped, and I need to push the bike. Being in manual mode disconnects the rear wheel, making it easier to push (when the engine is running).

Basically when the engine is idling in Manual 1st the CVT ratio is lowered allowing more slip in the clutch so its not pulling while your pushing at idle but I'm not sure if the clutch is ever fully disengaged.
