Cant select Neutral while engine running?

[pitmaster]

does anyone know why i cant select neutral when the engine is running?

with the engine stopped, finding neutral is easy, but after riding the bike, than pulling up and wanting neutral it just wont happen, gear lever just wont select gears unless i push the bike forward than select it....

any advice would be great,

Ducar engine BTW

Try tightening your clutch cable. Same thing used to happen to mine before i tighttened it.

Does your bike try to move forward when its in first and idling with the clutch lever pulled all the way in ?

If so your clutch isnt fully disengaging when you pull the lever in so the cable needs to be tightened.

well i just went and checked the cable, and did notice when its in gear idling with the clutch in, it was pulling forward a bit, so i adjusted the cable,

now it finds neutral heaps better

thanks synrgy

flarry,
first gear is probly down so second would be up and neutral is halfway between first and second on those gearboxes
