Engine oil, tranny oil, same thing. You probably don't need to do brake fluid yet. Check out your owners manual it'll tell you what to check. Your probably looking at a valve adj. by now. There tappets so no big deal! Maybe a sync, I havn't checked that out yet?
Thanks for the info guys... But if the oil/trans oil is changed out would that help out with the sticking clutch? wont that lube it up? I think im saying it wrong..... its the gear shifter thing lol thats sticking on me when im at a light and wanting to put in in "N"

If your talkin about the actual shifter that you hit with your foot? Make sure that its not rubbing on the case. If it is, just loosen it up and pull it out a little. Didn't you say it fell over once? If it was on the left side of the bike that could've pushed it in.
Ahhh yes some jacka$$ knocked it over but it has been shifting ok since it happened... it just recently started sticking on me this past week or two?? il check out that thing your mentioning though and thanks for the infoStraightjacket said:
Aight I got a lil more info if this helps? When my bike is off it shifts into "N" perfectly fine but when the engine is on and I'm at a light wanting to shift it to "N" it sticks like a muther! And can almost not get it their if at all??? I'm asking again cuz I'm planning on going on a ride today and I want to fix this up real quick so I have no problems on the road? And will this be a bigger issue for me if I don't take care of it now!? As far as lube job? Or whatever I need to do to fix this? Please help me out thanks!

Not sure how to solve the problem you are having other than oiling up the shift rod at the pivot. Can you double clutch and go? How do you get back to first or 2nd when it wont shift?
When I'm on the road I almost never put the bike in "N". I am always ready to move if necessary with an escape route. I was on a ride Sat. and the RC always put his bike in "N" and wasn't ready to go when the light changed to green. Just the way I was taught I guess.

·Just watched my buddy change his front pads last wknd (harley), he says that you can't turn' em like car rotors since they are so thin already.. probably have to buy new! (but measure first to see if you even need a new rotor)
