I recently bought a used 200cc Chinese ATV that needed some clutch work. My question is that it has a lever\ handle on the left side to shift into reverse.
What is the procedure for putting it from a forward gear to reverse?

 

i may be set up like a honda. all forward gears are up with neutral being down. so in neutral, you grap/activate lever and kick down to the lowest--below neutral and then BAM! you're backing up. then just kick back up to regrab neutral. try that.
