Weird shifting problem.

Filip75 · 07-18-2004, 10:11 AM

I'm having problem finding N going from 2nd. I keep on sliding through it and going to 1st. Another thing is that after I stop, I try to put it into N and it feels like I got lost in the gears. For some reason I end up in a very high gear.

HArd to explain

I guess it's just a matter of practice

Why don't you just go 2-1-N???

You shift N-1-2-3... why not make the reverse of that to get to N? It takes a lot of practice, it took me about 4 months to be able to shift to neutral every time I wanted to, it also depends a little on the bike and if there is some kind of force aplied to the transmision.

yea during the MSF test, i figured going 2-1-N is easier than pressing your foot down on the shifter trying to find neutral and accidentally pressing too hard and goin to 1. I think it's easier controlling your foot when clicking up, than pressing down.

Takes a really delicate touch and practice to hit N from 2nd. Practice or just go to 1 and then up.
