It seems that I have to let the engine warm up for at least 10 min. until the transmission shifts smoothly and or goes into neutral easily. Not saying that I can't, just difficult. Anyone else with this problem? My bike has approx. 1500 miles on it. It has been like this since new. |

Yes, mine does it also. It's difficult to hit neutral prior to warming up. Nothing to worry about though. |

same here, neutral plays friggin "hide and seek" or maybe TAG for a bit. Nothing as bad as chasing it on my Tuber, though... |

Thats Normal. Wait till ya have issues with 4 to 5 and it goes into nuetral . It happens here and there . I noticed lately that my shifter lever stays down after I downshift and sometimes doesn't come back up at all. Go figure ![: (](http://www.badweatherbikers.com/buell/clipart/sad.gif) |

Well I'll throw the anomaly into the mix. No such issues with my 08. I guess there is always one in the crowd.

Mine likes to find a false neutral between 5-6. Done it 3 times now. 1700 miles. 08 model. No problems finding neutral though. |

Im pretty new to having a 1125 and I thought it was just me having a hard time getting into N. I found that I have to roll the bike forward or reverse while going between 1st and 2nd to hit neutral right away. (Message edited by cydejob on May 23, 2009) |

Bizzarre. Only 800mi. on my new 08(darn week+ rain) but I feel is best shifting machine I've EVER had. Thought Hondas' had nice shifting but maybe is all in da foot. If I am lazy in shifting my BLAST, well, I am glad it has a tough SPORTSTER based gearbox.... time to get ready & ride |
