Hello from North East England. I'm 300 miles into my running in and am finding it almost impossible to select neutral (from 1st) once up to operating temperature and with the engine running. Until it's up to temperature, I can select neutral.
When this happens, if I knock the engine off, it slots into neutral nice and easy.
I've given the clutch cable handlebar adjuster a couple of full turns to give more tension but this doesn't seem to have helped.
The reason I can't find neutral is that I physically cannot move the gear shifter out of 1st, it just won't move, until I knock the engine off.
How's everyone else finding selecting neutral ? I've read a couple of reviews which also complain of this but the demo bike I rode with 300 miles on found neutral easily.
I'm kinda hoping that the running in oil is slightly thicker and may explain it ? And it'll improve after the first service ?
All advice welcome.
Cheers
