Nope, neutral is all the way up.

Then you have 4 gears down (fourth is all the way down).

If it's an atc 125M, it should have a green neutral indicator lamp.

I know this because my first ATV ever was an atc 125m.

Then don't forget that down below, next to the left rear tire, you also have a switch which gives you the option for switching between H (hi) and L (lo) range. (for normal riding, I suggest you keep it in the H position).

Enjoy your machine! (I loved mine...until I outgrew it).

Yep, Honda made a few 4 wheelers with similar trannies. I never could ride the damn thing right, kept shifting up thinking is was going to second. Had me confused as hell.
