Good news. The TT is "getting better" but is still hard to find when hot. I'm hoping as the miles and oil changes happen, it will get much easier.

everybike I have ever had ...
XR70 CR125R CR250R R6 all were hard to find neutral ... maybe this bike it worse but a trick i found was to tap the shifter instead of trying to go super easy |

My brother's is quite easier to get into neutral on his Hawk, but mine as it get's hot is almost impossible. It may make a huge difference with an oil change though. I'm gonna try to run some really good GN4 oil in it and see if it helps when I do the oil change.

My speedometer quit working at 20 miles and the odometer followed at 30 miles, but at what I estimated to be 50 miles l changed the oil to conventional Valvoline 10w-40 4 stroke motorcycle oil, because I was not able to find neutral at all with the engine running and I figured it couldn't hurt to try.
The only way I could get it into neutral was with the engine off. I was getting false neutral indications too, which concerned me. I tried the light tap down from second. I tried everything. The oil change seems to have done the trick. I can actually find neutral relatively easily now. If I could get a working speedometer and odometer, I would be really satisfied with this bike.

The light tap approach that has been mentioned for finding neutral works well for me. |

Yeah, the only problem is the guy has to buy 100 up front and there may not be enough interest for him to fork out the cash.

I'll get them ordered tonight. I think their is enough interest and as word gets out their will be more. The accurate speedo is a HUGE plus as well as the gear indicator and the low fuel light..... |
