    2001 Virago 250

    Hello my friends
    I'm back with a new puzzle with the new project I got 2001 virago 250
    When I engage the gears from 1st to 5th
    I got no problem bike runs nice and smith
    But the problem starts when I try to go to neutral again it will not engage to neutral unless I turn off the bike
    Should I re build the clutch or buy new parst
    Thanks for help

    PD. 1978 xs1100 rung nice and smith

      +1 on the clutch adjustment. That's the most likely thing on any bike to cause problems trying to get back to neutral when running.

          It means that I second the suggestion, as in agree with it. It's common in online forums is you agree with what someone else said. Sometimes someone will say +2 if the REALLY agree and want to add emphasis, but I've only seen that once or twice.
