It's strange if I let the bike sit for a day or two the clutch sticks. Today it was stuck and I let the bike warm up for a few minutes and the clutch was fine. Now if I can only find neutral on the first try life would be wonderful. Any ideas or adjustments I can use to find neutral easily?.

Problem solved sort of. If I let the bike warm up for 5 minutes I can Find Neutral and the clutch doesn't stick. Now to install the clutch bracket, mirror, tire and it's done. The for sale sign is next.

sticking clutch

I dont know if this will prevent it but my experience has been to change the oil and put fresh straight 30 wt oil in it and ride it for a few miles. Fresh oil does wonders for a wet clutch. when I took mine apart I found that there was no oil between the plates causing them to stick. There should be a film of oil between each plate.

I find neutral on mine by rocking it a little back and forth while tapping a few times on the gear shifter all the way down, then one click up is neutral for me.

I just recently replaced my neutral bulb. I was sure it would not work but it does, its very convenient for finding neutral.
