Hitting neutral between 4th and 5th?
Autoflock Motorsport - 28/10/14 at 12:59 PM

Hello peeps,

I have noticed that every so often I hit a neutral between 4th and 5th, im suing the kliktronic gearchange kit and I know that the actuator has to be mounted specifically to allow 25mm of tr5avel,, I havnt checked this yet but will do very soon. Just wondering if anyone else sometimes hits this neutral?

Only time I've seen it mentioned is on engines that shortly after blow up there gearbox

Unless of course its a ZX9 engine!

Video in that thread of it happening, false neutral couple times over few laps before box went bang.

Check your linkages first for anything restricting/limiting the throw (plenty of peoplehave had issues like that) before you panic over it being in the box.

ive done some research into this and it does lead to poor gearchange as it is common with bikes when they arnt presice with their foot when shifting. Will check the gearchinging dimensions and mechanism over the weekend

I don't think it would kill the engine as its blipping (revving) un loaded, just the same as revving the engine on the limiter stood still, but not a wise thing to keep doing!
