My son bought his first bike yesterday (Honda twin, 450). It's an 1982 with 16K. In pretty good shape and it runs great, but we have a real hard time finding neutral.
The clutch handle is cracked such that you can pull in the clutch handle but it doesn't pivot/get full leverage. So the clutch pulls, but not all the way.
New clutch handle is on the way, but I've wondered if my "it's really hard to find neutral" problem is related.
(It's also true that the bike tipped over once and bent the shift lever. We bent the shift lever back, but I suppose it's possible that something internally is bent/broke/whatevs!)
