i've been recently have some issues shifting into neutral. The problem occurs only when the bike is running, and seems to really kick in after i have ridden the bike for a bit.

any ideas???
 
I had the same issue with my cb350. took it to jr at TO cycle who made an adjustment and fixed it for good. the good news is that it seems that a simple adjustment is all you need to get rid of it, bad news is I have no idea what the adjustment was that fixed it.
 
Yep... Its just an asjustment on the clutch lever.
I'll fix it for ya when next we meet... eazzy peazzy...

Im glad it was just that... I replaced that clutch with OEM plates so it still should be good.
What did JR say about the leaky gasket?

yeah, i fixed it today. it was the clutch cable. i ordered a new one becuase the current on may have become a bit stretched out.

thanks.

Hey Noel

Jr thought it might be a hairline crack somewhere at the top of the engine as he replaced the gasket and it didnt stop the leak. He slapped on some gasket sealer and it seemed to stop the leak so looks like things are OK now.

hmm... interesting... Well Come out to the Milton Swap meet and get yourself a top end for cheap or sell the cb350 and get yourself a cb550
