How do you put a Yamaha 250 in reverse?

If it is a Yamaha Bruin 250, 1. Stop the bike. 2. Keep the FOOT Brake and the RIGHT Hand Brake compressed. 3. Shift the bike into 1st (FIRST) gear. 4. Grasp the Forward/Reverse lever on the upper left side of the bike and move it left then down (towards the rear of the bike) and then move it right into Reverse. The red light (R)between the handle bars should come on. 5. LOOK BEHIND you before depressing the throttle slowly to back up. Reverse step 4 to put the bike back in Forward gear.
