Post WTF is up with neutral

whats up guys? i have only put a few threads up but so far everyone has been a big help. im still new to stuntn but not riding. i put my bike down tryn rolling burnouts. which i do need some advice on how to get em started more frequently but thats now what im askin about this time. anyway when i put my bike down it landed on the right side but ever since i have had trouble puttin my bike in neutral. i can put it in while im ridin (which is fckn gay cause i never have to) but it wont go in neutral when im sittn still. is there any way i can fix this problem without gettn too technical?

Does your clutch feel any different

Is your idle high?

And, does it work better with the motor off?

Re: WTF is up with neutral

first thing would be try adjusting the clutch cable... check the actuator arm above the clutch cover

Re: WTF is up with neutral

the clutch cable goes around to the right side of the bike, where the clutch is. the actuator arm is the thing the clutch cable connects to...on the motor above the clutch, make sure that isn't bent?

Re: WTF is up with neutral

you should have like an inch of play from the time your clutch is totally disengaged till the clutch lever meets the grip. if you don't, try tightening up your cable, even if it is disengaged it still might make it hard to get into neutral though

Re: WTF is up with neutral

ok well everything seems fine with the actuator. n i noticed that if i rev up the rpms to like 2000 or more with the clutch disengaged i can slip it into neutral no problem. should i just adjust the idle to match where it goes into neutral? if so, how do i adjust that?

Re: WTF is up with neutral

don't do that. make sure your cable is set right. there's an adjustment screw on the front sprocket cover, you need to make sure that it's adjusted right first. I think the right way for that is to loosen the set-screw and screw the adjuster in til it touches the parts inside (you'll feel tension) then back it off 1/4 turn. the cable can also be adjusted where it goes in the top of the front sprocket cover also, 12mm and 10mm wrenches to do that. and there's the spin adjuster on the lever itself.
