1989 XLH 1200 neutral problem
I have a problem maybe someone can help me with. I have an 89 XLH 1200 that I picked up for nothin but it has a clutch problem. I cant get it to go to neutral. I can see the neutral light flicker each time it goes past neutral. I adjusted the clutch as per the book. But it did not help. All other gears function correctly. Any ideas?

I have similiar problems with neutral. I found if I slip in in neutral before I come to complete stop it goes most of the time. Also if your stopped, try rolling the bike foward and back (say if your at a stoplight and can't get in neutral) and slipping it in neutral while moving. This usually works for me. This is a common problem.

found the problem
well, with the help from a friend pulled the clutch out and found the cam follower was broke (cheap pot metal) and one of the springs for the follower got ate. replaced it with a aftermarket follower that is constructed of steel slapped in new springs. Also found the clutch plates were stuck together due to sitting in storage for so long. cleaned em up put her back together with some new gaskets and a couple of new seals and all is well!!!
