neutral.........

[NOLA_BigDog]

I have alot of trouble finding neutral on my bike when I park. Its impossible to shift up into neutral. Shifting down and finding it is a pain in the ass but take a couple of trys for me. Is somthing wrong .... or is this normal??
If i kill the bike in gear it goes right into neutral very easily, but i dont know if this could mess up the bike....

**If this is a stupid question spare me the bullshit! I just got my bike cut me some slack. **

Give the throttle a quick twist and bring up your rpms, will go right in for you. Common for most dogs

+2 as above and maybe an adjustment on the clutch to find the sweet spot will help a great deal. http://www.bigdogbiker.com/forums/how/2025-how-adjust-your-clutch.html. I'm not a wrench but was able to do it myself. Good luck.

the throttle trick works and as you begin to slow you can always find neutral while still coasting. Much easier. Good luck

All the above suggestions work well.
In addition: Some have changed the tranny fluid to Spectro 6 speed platinum synthetic and seemed to work.

Don't kill it in gear its not a dirt bike use your key or off button

naw, it's prob just an adjustment issue, also I've heard talk of certain kinds of tranny lube helping, when I switched to Redline Syn. I noticed a diff.

:iagree:twist throttle to bring up idle!

Most of time after shut her down I just reach down with my left hand pull it up to neutral. For some reason that works a lot better for me that trying use my foot.

I do that too... but now that I heard about this twist the throttle trick i will try

 

[Doggone]

yep.. blip the throttle while still rolling and you'll find neutral otherwise she'll fight you all the way. very common problem. practice it and you won't have any issues.:2thumbs:
