    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

Hello everyone, as the weather got wormer, I rode my gs750e, what I noticed that as the engine gets wormer I have harder time to find the netral, after short brake when the engine is cold it gets to be easy.
any medicine for this? Thank you very much

Get into neutral when you're still rolling. If you're oil is old it'll make it hard to find neutral too.

Re: finding neutral

My 750 doesnt like to find neutral from 1st. The easiest way is to bump back to 2nd and then a light tap and it will drop into neutral easy as you please.

Yessir, that too, or too high an idle can make neutral indent difficult.

I had a hard time finding neutral back when I was actually able to ride my pos bike too.

This worked every time for me,in first gear stop the bike with the clutch fully engaged, gently pull up on the shifter with your foot while you rock the bike forward or backwards, or both.

I learned that from an 8 year old, felt real dumb.

Give it a shot, lemme know how/if it works

My gse is similar, I have to go up to 2 then back to neutral most of the time. I can do it if I really gently go up from first to neutral. Otherwise I just pop it up to 2 then into N. 8)

Me too. Best to change from 2nd into neutral just before coming to a stop. Otherwise have to fiddle with the shift looking like a novice and feeling like a wally.
 
yup mine is a go from 2nd only. from first it only catches 2nd then it drops into neutral just fine.
