If my interest in learning something from the OP bothers you in any way, than so be it, cause it's between the OP and myself,no one else.

Everyone has traits that define their riding style. Some will drag the rear brake when entering corners, some blip the throttle when they down shift and some go into neutral at a stop light, especially if it's a long light with turning lanes. That's when I do it. Thank you all for your advice and opinions.

If ya put it in a thread, it for everybody to comment on. Your question is asked all the time, hell, it was previously asked in this thread, and the OP chose not to respond...

Ask any question you like on this forum . Questions are asked over and over again on this site, nothing wrong with that . I'am not going to search all theses threads for answers to questions I have ? I was taught to keep the bike in first gear at a stop or red light intersection in the event you need to get out of the way fast ! I admit if I'am riding local and I know it is a very long light I will shift into neutral . Where the hell are you going to move to in a very busy intersetion anyway ?

In the years I’ve ridden I’ve not seen someone rear-ended while at a light. I HAVE seen someone launched into traffic by blipping the throttle while holding in the clutch when the cable broke.
Stay aware and stay safe out there. |

Hi,
I have a 2019 Softail Slim with 500 miles on it. I'm finding it next to impossible finding neutral when coming to a stoplight. Is this something that will improve with the more miles I ride? Cheers |
My Sport Glide had this issue and so did my 2016 Fat Bob before it. I solved both by dissasembling the gear shift lever and the shifter rod ends and greasing each moving part before reassembly. HD only put a dab of grease on the lever and hope for the best! No problem since.

I find it diffcult as well. Drive me nuts when i park it in the garage and trying to find neutral and shut it off. Doing my 1000 mile service, swap the fluids and check all the clearances.

Exactly. Most of the time I put it into neutral at a light. Especially if the traffic is already stopped behind me. |
