Supercharged
My fellow riders. today is the first day I have had to go on a road trip of almost 250 miles through the country on county roads. As you may remember, I just bought an 05 R3 with 3500 miles on Monday Sept. 10. I am not totally used to the feel of the R3 yet. Having said that...several times today when the bike was put into neutral and parked, I had difficulty getting the trans back into 1 st gear. It seemed as though it was in gear by the feel of the shifter, (the neutral light was out), but it was indeed not in gear yet and remained in neutral. It simply would not go into 1st gear. I had to take the trans to 2nd gear and then back through neutral to 1st gear to get it into 1st gear.
Is this "sticking in neutral" a common problem for the 05 model? What suggestions do any of you have to fix the problem if indeed there is one?
Thanks to all for comments, Silver Bullet.
