Gearbox troubles?

Kawasakis won't let you shift into second unless the bike is moving. They call it a positive neutral finder. It means you don't have to sit on the bike for 30 seconds looking for neutral when you stop.

Wow, you learn something every day.
Had the Ninja for 18 months, and never knew that......

I just thought it was annoying when it wouldn't go into second when I need to crash start it..... (Race bike, Broken starter, and long story)...

SO, Now I know I can put the GPX Lap timer right over the neutral light, and I can find neutral with my foot without a worry.

Put your bike on the mainstand or jack your back wheel up if you aint got one. You should be able to release the clutch without stalling even in top gear. If you cant you have an inhibitor malfunction or mechanical problem.

If you think its stuck in top gear, I recommend you dont touch it and take it to a motorcycle shop, who know what they are doing.The worst thing you can do is fiddle with something you clearly know nothing about, and no offence but it might save you from making it worse.
