false neutrul?

[BlackTrx440ex]

does any body ever hit false neutrul on there 450's? like in between 3rd and 4th or something? just hoping its not my tranney going

[d3ktrix]

How often are u getting it?

Most people have had it happen a few times I'd say.
Not something that should be happening a lot though.

Could be as simple as sloppy shifting or clutch cable adjusted bad.
If its really bad it might be a bent shift fork or something worn.

I was hitting it on starts a lot but thats not in 3rd or 4th. I was hitting it between 1st & 2nd

Ya thats more common then what hes talking about.
Normally caused from not pulling up on the shifter enough/smooth enough for the 1st shift. Going from 1st to 2nd the lever has to move like twice as far then when shifting though the higher gears.
People think they have tranny problems from it, but most of the times its they just need to get there fat foot off the peg a little more :P

Mine has like 500 hours and it shifts perfect. You shouldnt have to slam anything.

mine has done it once or twice, but racing isnt easy on the bikes so when i get mine rebuilt im going to have them check the tranny too

[JJs450r]

mine was doing it for a lil bit but i changed the tranny oil (dunno if it helped) but i havent noticed it

[lagrassa29]

be careful because eventually your third and frouth gear are going to let go, especially 3rd i had to replace my 3rd and 4th. it wasnt that parts that cost a lot it was the time to change em. id get em changed b4 it lets go coming of the face of a jump!

[emerson137]

Yes You are right. Fresh tranny fluid helps mine. it only really does it if I dont make a solid shift from 2nd to 3rd. like getting lazy. Sounds like a common problem in My D23. Oh well

ya i never hit it between 1st and 2nd on starts because i always start in 2nd it normaly happens coming out of the corners thats when it gets me it might just me not shifting all the way to the next gear but it happened a few times so we'll see what happens

[emerson137]

ITS HAPPENING RIGHT AFTER YOU SHIFT RIGHT? NOT WHEN ITS IN THE GEAR FOR SAY 30 SECONDS?

[BlackTrx440ex]

yeah right as soon as i shift it happens and i have to click back down to get it back into gear it wont go in gear if i click up only down

[hondarules]

i have the same problem on my 05 but mines 4th-5th but only when i wheelie an itll hit the gear for 2-3 seconds an then drop

[450rJam]

I have hit it a few times, usually between 2nd/3rd

it bothers me more that it dont want to go into 4th gear at times
