Neutral?
New Harley owner & new rider- I have an 06 Denim Street Bob. I love it. When the dealer said "fists in the wind" boy was he right!
When the bike is running, I can't get it into neutral. Is this normal? I don't have a problem when it's shut off, just when it's running (ie- at idle).
Great forum, guys. I love it here.

RE: Neutral?
Have the dealer run a check on your VIN to see if the tranny recall has been performed yet.
They were abit tough to hit neutral before this work was performed. After it is easier and more positive.

Was a little tricky at first, but now that I have the hang of it, not a problem...

RE: Neutral?
Its just because you think your in first when your really in second, or somewhere in between. When that happens try easying out on the clutch a little while at the same time keep your foot on the shifter with a little pressure, you'll feel it slip down onto first gear, then just give a bump to neutral. Took a little while but now I have the hang of it. I'm going to check with my dealer anyhow, my bike was made in early march so I just figured they had the Tranny thing worked out with the newer bikes.

Gidday, welcome to the HDForums from New Zealand, enjoy!!!! [sm=welcomesign.gif]
I have no problems selecting neutral whether it is running or not. Get it checked.
