Hard to get into neutral.

11 posts in this topic

When the bike is hot and has been on a hard run I noticed its hard to get into neutral.

 

My money is on the clutch plates?.

Its got a lot worse since then, but I don't think its the cable the actual clutch movement has been much better since then.

Obvious question, but have you checked the oil level?

Had a similar thing occur when abroad one year.

The ambient temp was 35c & the gearbox got quite hard to select gears, was running 10/W40. fully synth

 

Next time I went to Europe I  put some 20/w50 fully synth It did not happen again, still running 20/w50.

 

How hot was the day you had the problem, have you still got the problem now ?

It was quite hot funnily and thats when it does it, I have re adjusted the clutch, I really don't like these adjustable levers, I think they make it harder to get the clutch free play right, seems ok now, I am running it with semi synthetic, have had any problems I need to run the bike hot though.
