Gear Selection

#1 PostAuthor: nicomkii » Thu Nov 26, 2015 11:11 pm

There is a local bloke here who has just bought an Z900 A4 from interstate. He is saying he can get it into first without issue then back up into neutral but it wont go into second at all. He also said it wont go from neutral into second either.
Only thing I can think of is that the selector forks are just at that awkward angle but surely if it goes into first then it wouldnt be that. Suggestions ??

There's nothing wrong with it. It won't go into 2nd unless it's moving. It's called a positive neutral finder .
