lewisallen Posted December 29, 2011 Report Share Posted December 29, 2011 Right i dont no if this is ment to be like this but my 2002 gaser txt280 will not go into neutral with engine running and espically after i have been in gear and want to stop and go to neutral, once engine is off goes in piece of cake, and also i can get neutral whilst rolling.. is this a trials bike thing to reduce the risk of hitting neutral?or does it need looking at?the bikes got 3months warrenty on it so if its not ment to happen the bike will go back. cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zerorev3rev4 Posted December 29, 2011 Report Share Posted December 29, 2011 there not like a road bike where they select neutral easily you tend to have to give them a bit of a jab ,but if clutch is dragging at all it will make it difficult also if you check on youtube there is a gasgas machanic that shows a part that needs to be correctly adjusted to enable correct selectment of neutral Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jse Posted December 30, 2011 Report Share Posted December 30, 2011 The GG's are designed to have a certain amount of clutch drag and the transmissions are also designed to stay in gear ( which is why you should use the clutch when shifting ) . This makes finding neutral stopped in gear difficult and with a little practice you'll learn to shift into neutral just before stopping.

60north Posted December 30, 2011 Report Share Posted December 30, 2011 you can also try increasing your revs then from 2nd gear select neutral, not sure how the higher revs looses clutch drag but seems to work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
samy Posted December 30, 2011 Report Share Posted December 30, 2011 I would rather it be this way! My sherco is very easy to get into neutral which can and has gotten me into trouble mid section when changing up or down from 1st to 2nd. cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fitter65 Posted December 31, 2011 Report Share Posted December 31, 2011 Hi I would like to see this video on youtube I have searched and can't find it can you post the details if you have it please! It's here...at 6.27 it shows how to adjust the gear selector. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A80n7zq80n8 Mine had difficulty selecting neutral and shifting. After I'd adjusted it correctly, I can change gears and select neutral easily. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ham2 Posted December 31, 2011 Report Share Posted December 31, 2011 The original poster of this topic has a photo in his profile of a 2002 txt Gasser not a Pro..they have very different gearboxes . Bearing in mind the age of the machine and the cost/slavver time to investigate/remedy the fault , I would personally just tolerate the problem Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
