Put it in third gear with the engine off. the shift lever should have equal amounts of springed play up and down. If not the shifter pawl is off center. It effects all gears. If you look at the tranny behind the inner side case there is a 1/4" lock nut and an adjustment screw. It take patience but it makes a big difference when it come to missing gears.

very common issue in all honda bikes (and some yamahas) I had, but never had a false neutral on a harley-davidson, either sportster or twin-cam.

2000 TC88,,,,If I don't snap my shifts in gear I will get caught in between gears and when it does go in gear it will chatter as the dogs hook up,,,it gives me the willeys when that happens.

I've been shifting ATV's to long and going easy in the shift lever has gotten to be a habit that I'm trying to break.
