Is it a problem with the switch not indicating neutral when it should or is it something more serious :?:
Hopefully Admin will move this thread to Bike Help :wink:

First thing I would look at , presuming you have checked London's suggestion, is to remove the, sprocket cover and inner cover and check that the 3 or 4 coil spring has not broken or its retaining boss is not damaged. This requires the removal of change lever, front sprocket. Can be a bit of a pain to check If things don't go right.

clutch drag - warped plates - could even be the oil have you adjusted your clutch?

Common problem on big Zeds this. If you've tried everything else and can't find anything wrong, try popping it in while the wheels are still going round ie get it in neutral before you stop. Works every time for me.!

As Russ says, mines a bugger when hot, so I just tap it in as she *(he/it) comes to a stop :wink:
