ok this issue usually occurs when i am dropping into 1st but its now coming up with 2nd and 3rd. what happens is that it doesnt find a gear, i knock it down into first and it doesnt go into gear it just is almsot lose i tap it down and it goes down but doesnt do anything (its hard to explain) the only way i can get it to go into gear is to move the biek forward until it goes into place and this sometimes means rolling it forward a fair way, its a prblem at junctions , but it doesnt occur all the time, just now and then, i am just wondering if this occurs with most nst's and iof any1 had experienced the same problem?

It has come up a few times as neutral is a bitch to find on the NSR.....Make sure your gear lever is on tight.....

I've also been told to take the gear lever off and wind the cog back one notch towards the back of the bike and re-assemble.....I've not tried it myself yet but it's surposed to work.....

its not neutral, its the fact it gets caught between firat and neutral and is in 'no gear' and when i go to pull away it goes into second which is dificuly to pull away in, so i have to quickly try and get into first again.
