RE: Shifting to Neutral

LOL! You freakin' newbies!
It's typical of just about every motorcycle and the solution is pretty easy...either blip the throttle between gears (if you don't know how to blip that's another newbie issue) or when the gears get stuck, let the clutch out a little bit (not enough to fully enguage) then pull the clutch back in and continue down shifting.
This happens because bikes don't have syncros like a car and their transmissions need to be moving for the gears to mesh.

I think some of you might be missing the original post. This didn't sound like a shifting gear question to me. I've had my new 05 600RR stick in neutral at lights. I've been on bikes since I was 6 years old and I've never ran into one that sticks in a gear as bad as this. No matter how much you move or rev... I've had to slam the shifter to get out of neutral.

You also missed the intent of my original reply Mr. doncollins
