Hi All, I am having trouble finding neutral when I pull up to a traffic light. This seems to happen more so after the bike is warmed up. When I am working on the bike and it is on it's center Display Stand I will usually shift into first gear to keep it from falling over. Finding neutral is easy at that point. The tranny fluid level is good and fuild is clean. The bike shifts fine other wise and the clutch seems fine. Any ideas? My bike is a 95 Roadking with 32K on the odometer.
I appreciate the help.

So if the bike is turned off, N is easy to find,
I would suspect the primary chain is out of adjustment.

Also during those mid to late 90's HD had a spring pressure plate in the center of the clutch pack, those springs would go and make it difficult to adjust the clutch but my bet would be you need to adjust the primary chain

My 2003 Sporty has a quirky neutral also. I can be riding for twenty minutes and all of a sudden, neutral's hard to find. Five minutes later, no problem again. Sometimes it happens after I make a slightly awkward shift. Harley's done the stage 1 upgrade. Two of their tech's rode it and another 30 year riding vet as well, they all said it was fine. Who knows? I plan to change to Amsoil either in July or November, depending on how it runs during really hot weather. I recall that some find neutral easier after changing to synthetics.

i also think the chain is a bit loose.........

Thanks HotRoadking, Hellboy,and ChuckTx, Sound like the primary chain is the first place to start. It's about time that I learn how to adjust the chain. I've only had the bike for a few month and have been taking care of other issues (CHP inspection, DMV registration). Is it possible to run an open belted primary on an Evo Roadking? I like the idea of not having to adjust and oil in the primary, oh yeah, and the cool factor.

Thanks again-Devolution.

If You Don't Have A Book There Was A Post Not To Long Ago That Linked You To Videos Of Step By Step Maintiance. And One Of Them Was Primary Adjustment. Don't Recall The Link But I'm Sure Someone Else Does.

Hi all, thanks for everyone's responses. I bought the bike as a salvage back in December because I wanted a low buck rider for my first HD. Most of the work has been cosmetic and no major work needed, but I really don't know the history of the bike and my last bike was a Vulcan 1600. I checked the primary chain and it seemed to be in spects according to the HD service manual. Even though the primary oil was clean, I decided to change the fluid with HD Formula Plus for Transmissionand Primary. What a difference that simple change made, finding nuetral now is almost as easy as the Vulcan was.
Oh yes, and in process I spilled a quart of old primary oil on my patio, well it's off to the store to buy some more kitty litter.
Thanks again, Devolution.
