Anyone have issues with their neutral light not being on when your in neutral. For me it seems the transmission is in neutral, but not really in neutral if that makes any sense. Some times its just a pain in the ass to find.
It's happened to me a lot too. Sometimes I'll shift to second and it slips into neutral without the light. I've just been giving it some extra toe when I shift. Other times when I actually want neutral, it does it too.???
Same here. It can be a struggle getting the light to come on sometimes + attaining a false neutral where you release the clutch and you can hear a clicking noise from the gearbox.
I've never met a neutral light that I trusted. Quite frankly, it could be malfunctioning and I'd have no clue.
The demo bike I rode before I got mine only worked half the time, and mine is slow and kind of has a mind of its own.....
No problems on my TR650, it works much better in that regard than my 2006 TE250. However I have found false neutrals between 2&3 and 3&4. See if that changes after the first oil change.
The behaviour of the gearbox in this engine is identical to the feel you get if you ride any of the BMW models with the same 650 engine. What makes finding neutral even more difficult is that when you're in 1st, and you try to change down, you get exactly the same lever travel that you do if you're in any other gear, and the same applies when you're in top gear and you try to change up. There is no physical resistance which alerts you that you are at an extreme edge of the gear range, so finding neutral can be difficult, because just identifying what gear you're in from gear lever response is impossible.
Yep, same here. Neutral light is hit and miss. hit a false neutral between 2nd and 3rd today. not ideal.
Mine initially had false neutrals & hit-miss neutral light but is now a thing in the past as the gearbox has loosened up. I enjoy having to only brush the shifter to grab neutral when you're in second and rolling towards a red traffic signal.
I have the same problem from time to time. Not much of an issue, as I usually "feel" the neutral, but the same sensor work in pair with the sidestand one, so the bike will shutoff when you pull it down.
