Finding Neutral
Is it just me, or are others having this same trouble??[sm=wtf.gif] I'm riding an '00 UC, and I seem to always have trouble finding neutral when I'm on the road. I like to slip it into neutral, if I'm sitting at a long light, so I don't have to sit there forever holding the clutch in, or if I wanna light a smoke. But finding neutral can be a real pain in the ***!! [:@] So any insight would be most helpful!
Thanks!!

Change out your primary oil to 75-140 gear oil and tap down from 2nd instead of up from 1st.

I give it just enough throttle to roll it forward a few inches. While it's inching forward pull the clutch and it slips right into neutral. I just changed over to synthetic and that seemed to make it much easier.
I'm with ya though. Seems like a lot to have to go through to find neutral.

Hopefully, a proper adjustment of your cable or clutch arm will take care of it.
