crustydemon Posted October 24, 2009 Report Share Posted October 24, 2009 I just got my motor together and was doing an initial comp check, I put it in neutral and with the slightest bump of the bike it will drop into 1st on its own. Im assuming it due to the modded shift star, is this normal? Its also very hard to hit neutral without jumping two 2nd. All of the spring loaded stuff inside was good and tight.

It is important that the shift claw be adjusted not to touch the pins when in neutral. That will certainly cause this. With the stock star, there is a little more forgiveness on that. Feel free to email if you have any other problems. Brandon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have also had a few people back cut the neutral a bit more which is an option. We designed those stars for racing, specifically for asphalt guys with tall gearing and 1st gear starts. Hitting neutral is a certain loss in that situation. If you require very positive neutral shifts, let me know and I can help you work through a quick mod on it. I was going to do a tech article on that since we have had a few questions on that. Brandon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brandon This is the first time I have had one and I like the fact that its hard to hit neutral, I dont need it to be easy to find I just dont want to have it pop into gear when its sitting there at idle. Like you said im sure its in my adjustment, Ill take a look at it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
