antere07 Posted April 4, 2011 Posted April 4, 2011 I bought a brand new ybr about a week or two ago and it seems like it doesnt want to go into neutral. When i pull over i try to put it into neutral and it just skips past it and goes into first then trying to go up into neutral it skips it again and straight into 2nd sometimes i cant even get it when the engine is running i have to let the clutch out stall to get it its easier to get it when i have to stop at lights or something but when i stop all together it can take a few attempts of doing it. Dont know if its a case of just trying to get used to it but the bike i rode before was easy to get into neutral So i thought there might be a problem somewere down the line Would be much appreciated for someone to advise me on a potential problem or what ever

jimbyatt Posted April 4, 2011 Posted April 4, 2011 I had the same problems first few weeks and it's just getting used to it and if it's new running it in.mine's much easier to get into gear now its 2000miles old.changing the oil will help too and is pretty good for the engine and gear box.the oil the yam dealer put in mine was like water.

When i washed it on sunday i checked as the bloke said to check it cause it slackens off but it was fine so i didnt try and adjust it or anything just left it as it was. Hopefully it is just a case of it being new and will become fine over time just needs to wear in like but yea just getting abit worried
