Hi guys! A quick update for you...in case you interested.. 🙂 Couple of days after my post a friend came along with a van to take the bike to a mechanic. Since I park the bike uphill he pushed it from behind and I was holding the handlebar. The bike would move only inches back and forth with the rear wheel blocked. I've thought its a good time to try the gear shift lever to move... and success. Using the clutch I did managed to put it into neutral. After that there was no problem to start the bike. So basically what happened is while the bike was parked probably slided back a little and caused somehow the gear jump from neutral. I know its bad english... sorry about it. 🙂 I cant feel anything wrong with the clutch, gears, gearbox while riding. Everything seem fine. I am not sure its worth to take the bike apart now but I will consider it. Thanks guys, Tom

Hi guys! Thx for the reply. Sorry...I forgot to mention... the is 98' FI. "Does the transmission jump out of any gears on acceleration?" - never "What's the condition of your clutch hydraulic system? Have you tried cleaning / lubricating the linkage?" - never had a problem so...I think it is in a good condition. I didnt cleaning the linkage. Strange fault that is for sure. 🙂

Hi guys! I would ask your opinion/help about the next... Strange thing happened with my bike. It seems my gear shift lever is jammed or something. Couple of days ago I couldnt start the bike...no neutral green light....gear shift lever not moving at all. It was defenitely in neutral when I parked down. It happened last summer once... after one week suddenly I was able to move the lever and put it into neutral and started the engine and used the bike for couple of months without any problem. I asked couple of mechanics about this...no one has a clue. What do you think guys? Has any of you ran into this kind of problem ever? Many thanks in advance, Tom
