The new first and fifth gear-ratio changes were made to improve low speed trailing. But the speed differences between the old J and K models compared to the new L version are minute. We couldn't feel the difference when riding. At a constant 4000 rpm the J and K models went 50.3 mph in fifth and 17.6 in first. The L version does 49.9 and 19.5 mph in the same gears a reduction of 0.4 and 1.9 mph respectively.

The Suzuki TS 185 Sierra has a primary kicksian feature, which allows the rider to start the bike in any gear simply by pulling in the clutch and giving the starter lever a tick. While the gearbox on our machine shifted without a snag, neutral was impossible to find when the engine was running. We don't think it was simply a fault with our particular bike: we've found that it's a common problem with many of Suzuki's dirt models.

Suzuki claimed the TS was heavily influenced and based upon the motocross machines of 1968 but, in reality the TS turned out to be a completely new design, particula five-speed gearbox that is significantly beefier than the off road competition machine’s transmission. The design of the early motocross machine suffered because of its having been patterned after the dated Villiers engine, with it’s under square, 66 x 72mm bore and stroke set up.
