Shouldn't be! [unable to insert video]

 

Reverse? Piece of cake.

 

Paying tolls at bridges and highways , when I forget the e-z pass .

 

I have often wondered why more motorcycle manufacturers do not use the Kawasaki positive neutral finder "three little ball bearings" technology. It works great, you can always find neutral. I wonder if it's a patent thing 'cause the presence of the neutral finder ball bearing technology sure doesn't have and adverse effect on the shifting of the Kawi's I've ridden.

 

My '94 has a "positive neutral finder". That's why you can't select neutral by shifting down from second gear, only up from 1st.

 

i was taught to leave it in gear when stopped in case you need quick acceleration to avoid a cage impact on your six. Taking s split second to pull clutch and drop it in gear might get you killed. And I don't like hearing that gear clunk when dropping into first from neutral. I'll buy clutch cables over transmission repair.

 

Ahh... All these tips and tricks for finding neutral, and I'm just sitting here thinking y'all have a bunch of dragging clutches.

 

OP, still waiting on your bike's year/model, but have to ask when you last had clutch adjusted? Finding neutral shouldn't be a problem...

 

It sounds to me like he's purposefully adjusted his clutch for a "personalized" feel at the clutch lever, with the side effect of being unable to fully disengage the clutch.

 

^^^True dat^^^

My '09 FLHX drug a tad, but I adjusted and swapped HD's mink oil w/Spectro. Now it's "like butta."
