Bike is 2009 with aprox 20K on the clock. Been a bit tough to get into Neutral at rest recently and then last night impossible to find Neutral at rest. Once bike is turned off it goes into but stubbornly. No issue with Neutral when bike is moving coming to a light etc.
Tightened up the cable a touch but left about 1/8-1/4 of an inch of free play as I made the error of over tightening the cable last season and ended up snapping the throw out pin crazy set up in the front of the clutch so always very careful of the play to be left in cable.
I am not hard on a clutch at all so looking for thoughts. Oil looks good (I find that older oil makes the bike shift a touch harder..mobile 1 in sump)
Bike shifts fine, no issues ever so thinking two thoughts....either the clutch is just seen better days which I kinda doubt as I am not tough on it, or there is a gear box issue.
