Hi
When riding the CB500/4, I'm only able to shift to neutral when the gears are a a specific place. It's always been a normal thing to maybe roll the bike an inche to get in to neutral, but ever since I filled the oil (was very low), I've literally have to roll the bike for a long distance to get it to neutral. I'm not sure what the oil has to do with it, other than it lubes the tranny.
To compensate, when I'm about to stop, I'll pull the clutch and lightly pull up from 1st until it pops to neutral. Only good if I have plenty of distance to stop, otherwise I'm holding the clutch in for long NYC stoplights.
I have very limited wrenching time for forensics, so I thought I'd see if someone here can help me decide what to tackle first. Plus she's my sole means of transportation right now, so I need to limit down-time as much as possible.
Thanks all!
