#1:  Difficulty finding neutral. (SOLVED) Author: wyllow,  Posted: Sun Aug 22, 2010 8:41 am I haven't had much luck searching for an answer to this on the forum but I guess he answer could well be here already. My partner's 2004 XV250 has this problem: With the engine off - no trouble getting into neutral. Engine running but cold - can usually find neutral. If the engine is up to operating temperature - not much hope of getting it into neutral. I thought it might be a clutch problem but the clutch isn't 'dragging' when the bike is in gear. I always check the oil and change it regularly. Hope someone has the answer. Last edited by wyllow on Tue Sep 07, 2010 5:13 am; edited 1 time in total
