Posted January 29, 20169 yr .when I put my bike into 1st it starts moving forward, even with my clutch fully held in I'm having to hold the brakes to stop going, n its murder getting it back into neutral. Is this something I can fix myself? Or would I be best taking it back to a mechanic?
January 29, 20169 yr Sounds like you need to adjust the clutch cable Sent from my E6553 using Tapatalk
January 29, 20169 yr Author I think I've put too much oil on as well, could this cause this as well.?
January 30, 20169 yr Author sorry yeah I was filling it up with oil n when I filled it up, the level has went above the max line on the wee oil viewer
January 30, 20169 yr Might cause an issue, but I would definitely look at cable adjustment first Sent from my E6553 using Tapatalk

January 30, 20169 yr Get the excess oil out first Bike has to be vertical upright to check the level in the sight glass Send me a PM and ill reply with the setting procedure for the clutch from the XVS125 manual
