hey guys. am new to the forum. I'm from the UK and had a 82 xs650 hardtail. it's been off the road for a number of years. I've stripped and inspected the engine and just fitted a new loom. I've not rode it yet but I have an issue with neutral. I've searched and searched but can't come across anything similar. I've found people struggling to get it I to hear but not like mine. if I click the bike into neutral. (engine off) it goes in fine. but. as soon as I roll the bike forward very slightly or begin to kick the kick start. it pops out of neutral and jumps into gear. she I first brought the bike I was told the kick was faulty. but it turned out the clutch was wound I too much so it was constantly slipping. hence hiding the neutral issue. I checked the detent and spring and they are all good. the clutch kit is new. the kick setup it all perfect. any ideas? lol forward to your input and getting this thing on the road! cheers.
