Your thinking of the 1000/1100. 600/750 is a cable clutch.

Does the bike select all other gears ok? Do you get false neurals?

The issue is the box is going "dog on dog", to coin an expression! This could be down to several things, including the inherent nature of the box. Problem is you don't know how badly the bike has been abused in the past 11 years.

Hi Jon,
Just have problems with engaging Neutral and first.
Will not engage neutral (light on dash does not show neutral is engaged)
and indeed I have checked it and it's still in second gear. The gear will not move down unless as I have said previously I either let the clutch out about an inch and a half or I turn the bike off and re-start Releasing and depressing the clutch again.
I'll PM you about your kind offer of a look see.


What I would look at though is the clutch and also the cush drives in the rear wheel. Sometime if these are fubar it can cause funny changing. My GS can do this, but have always found that letting the clutch out a bit whilst finding first works and it will go every time. But in the case of the GS it is inherent as Mark says.

Am happy to have a looksee if you like.
