Hi,
Having trouble with a false neutral between 3/4 and 4/5. have followed Steves Clutch setup . thought I might be getting a small amount of clutch drag. Removed basket and checked out clutch plates they look ok bike has only 53000 km on it so I am at a guess as to what to do now any suggestions.

Does not seem to rollover into 4th it is as if it rolls to far but then you change up and and it goes neutral 4/5. So that indicates it is not rolling enough have replaced engine oil . So I am at stall at moment I do not want to pull down maybe I am missing an adjustment. Can anyone help.

Regards

Most problems of this nature are caused by a weak gearshift centreing spring or a misadjusted selector mechanism. At 53 000 km the spring should be replaced if it hasn't been already because if it breaks you may lose the ability to change gears - a drag if you are a long way from home.

Adjusting the selector mechanism isn't difficult but may take a few tries before everything works as it should.

Thanks Bruce I am on Hols next week so I will look into it.

Most "false neutrals" can be fixed with proper changing technique.
Hold pressure on gearchange lever until clutch is released.
Give it a go, with a little thought and practice you'll never get another "false neutral"
