False Neutral

Post by Gman1969 »

Hi All
I have a 16 plate rt with 6k miles on, just had a service and I when I stop and select neutral (according to dash light) it is not actually in neutral and jolts forward when disengaging the clutch - Anyone else had this issue?

Cheers
Stuart

No.  But if this has only happened after your service get back there or at least ring them.  You don't say if it does it every time.

And it didn't do it at all before the service?

I think it did but not that often to worry about it just seems a lot more now - very strange

Yes, I've experienced false neutrals very occasionally on my 65 plate RT. They occur when trying to deftly select N from 1st gear having come to a stop. Not that common, thankfully, but un-nerving nevertheless! I can't associate mine with any recent servicing performed on the bike, only as described above!
