Re: Gear change...
i have found that reving it slightly helps get it into neutral also try finding neutral while the bike is still in motion

i have the same problem, just flick it into neutral whilst still moving, or failing that, give it a touch of throttle- drops right in.

Yep - it certainly is easier getting it into netrual while the bike is moving. Not always pratical of course, but certainly better !!!
Thanks for the tip !!

Re: Gear change...
Only way you will solve it with gear box re-build and new 1st and 2nd gear, then in a race bike only lasts a seaon and starts doing same anyway.

Re: Gear change...
Yeah regarding the neutral problem, i had major problems few months ago when I 1st started riding my nc30, i read on a posted topic on this site somewhere that if you just rev to around 3 and half thousand revs and then attempt to flick it into neutral it goes alot easier!
And so far i have had no further problems with finding neutral since using this technique!
