stevie-boy-smith-jrII Posted January 29, 2016 Share Posted January 29, 2016 .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? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
finnerz89 Posted January 29, 2016 Share Posted January 29, 2016 Sounds like you need to adjust the clutch cable Sent from my E6553 using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

finnerz89 Posted January 30, 2016 Share Posted January 30, 2016 Might cause an issue, but I would definitely look at cable adjustment first Sent from my E6553 using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
