What are all ways and why a motorcross bike can get stuck in gear and lose neutral?
Wscc69
NEUTRAL is the state in which the motorcycle's gear is NOT engaged. You can't LOSE NEUTRAL, but you can get frustrated trying to put the motorbike in NEUTRAL under the following conditions:
1. Your clutch cable is NOT PULLING THE CLUTCH PLATE FULLY. Remove the slack from your clutch cable by twisting the knurled knobs where the cable enters the metal guide JUST BEFORE THE CLUTCH LEVER HOUSING. As an alternate, you can also lessen the slack on the clutch cable in the tension adjustment joint, which should be located a bit less than a foot from where the other end of the cable enters the clutch housing and the engine.
2. If No.1 above fails, have your clutch "basket" checked. This entails overhauling the clutch side of the engine. Replace the clutch plates and/or the clutch springs if you find that they are worn or too soft.
3. Check that you are using the correct engine oil. If you are using fully synthetic engine oil on a Motocross bike that does NOT require it, then go back to using the correct oil. Synthetic oils may be too "slippery" for your clutch.

How do you get in motorcross?
You do not have to 'get it' or 'sign up' for motorcross. This is something you do on your own, you just train on your own, and of course you have to have a bike and gear, but you just go to the race and register. That's about it. lol
Dirt bike is stuck in one gear?
If your dirt bike is stuck in gear, the shifter fork is most likely bent or broken. Changing the shifter fork requires splitting the case.
Where is neutral on a 1984 Yamaha Virago xv 700?
The neutral position is usually between first gear and second gear. Put the bike in first gear then push up that should put it in neutral.
I was riding my 1987 kx80 bigwheel and i tried to put it in neutral and it wouldnt go. i got off the bike and my shift lever was hanging. now the bike is stuck in 1stgear and i cant change gears. HELP?
if the gear lever is just hangin then get some vice grips and lock it onto the gear shaft and clik it up 1/2 a gear so it is in neutral and then as soon as posable get a new lever or sharft or just weld the lever to the shaft with a tig!

Why you start the bike in 1st gear?
if your talking about starting the engine up, its best to crank a bike up in neutral but you can in first if you hold the clutch in if you mean riding the bike if you try to go in say fourth gear the bike is likely to stall
Why won't my dirt bike start in gear when the clutch is pulled in but it will start in neutral?
It needs adjusted it is still engaging. just like when it is running in Neutral and you put it in first gear it idles down more so than typical of a bike doesnt it ?
What does a bike do?
A bike cassette is a stack of differently sized sprockets that are stuck on to the rear hub, giving the rider a range of gear ratios to choose from.
Why is neutral between first and second gear on motorcycles?
For practical reasons it is advantageous to have neutral near first gear since you typically use first gear at the lowest speeds and neutral only when the bike is stopped. They put it above first gear instead of below it so that some one can always find first if they keep hitting the shift lever down. That way if you ever need to move the bike quickly you don't have to be shifting up and down looking for first the way it is sometimes necesary to do for neutral. If a truck is about to run into the back of your bike it is very important to be able to be in first gear and accelerating right now, whereas it is almost never important to find neutral so quickly.
Why wont my dirt bike start in gear when the clutch is pulled in but it will start in neutral?
