hi guys, here is my problem.

i come home from a ride, i pull up to the garage door, go to put the bike in nuetral so i can get off and open the door( keeping it running ) and it is real hard to move the shifter up outta first into nuetral. so hard, that when i get it to move, i skip right past nuetral and hit second.

this is how it started. now this has advanced to not being able to move the shifter outta first at all! this only happens at idle, after it is warmed up. to find nuetral at this point, i have to spin the back tire in the gravel while trying to move the shifter at the same time, or shut the motor off then i have no problem.

any ideas?

hoagy,

Adjust your clutch when the engine is hot.
