    Calm down ladies, but now I have you attention I have a question for you ;) I adjusted my gear selector up 1/2" the other day as I was having trouble selecting gears without a positive flick after I replaced the the gear selector and link. Gear changes now feel really good but every time I go for neutral it pops into 2nd. Question is do I need to take the selector down a bit, or is it just a case of getting used to the new position?

    Just getting used to it is all that's needed.


    Doesn't matter to the gearbox where the selector lever is bolted to the spline at any point in a 360 degree circle (theoretically as obviously U can't do this) so if you are going straight to second then you're pushing up too much.

    Finding Neutral is always easier going from Second down (assuming Road Shift) and also before the bikes come to a halt helps also.

    Shyte these Blade Box's! ;)

    Cheers. Was what I thought but nice to have it confirmed. Am really surprised on how much difference the new bits have made as they are all OEM, guess they just have less wear.
