2016 Harley Trike

[Markh853]

Can't get trike into Neutral in order to start. I know there's no clutch adjustments. How can I find Neutral? In oder to start?

Fyi: I'm not new to this trike, been riding for awhile now.

Thanks

Mark welcome aboard.

Even though you have a hydraulic clutch. The pressure plate behind the cover plate on the primary has an adjustment. Also try a synthetic gear oil in the transmission it will help the trans shift smoother and find neutral easier.

Welcome to Trike Talk……...Just a question is this something new or has it always been hard to find neutral?..With Harleys there is an insignificant amount of airspace between first and and neutral… if you’re in first gear and you want to drop it to neutral just a little love tap on the heal shifter should do it like I said it’s a very delicate procedure.. just in case, if you need to start the bike, you can start it in gear if you apply heavy pressure on the brakes ..

What's been done to the primary/ motor and who worked on it last?

Welcome, Mark. I’m not completely understanding your problem. If you can’t get it to shift from the gear it’s in, just release your brake and gently rock your trike back and forth while down shifting repeatedly until you know you’re in first gear. Then tap your heal shifter lightly or lift your toe shifter by hand for neutral.

Rhino has it right. If trying to get into neutral while the engine's running, with the clutch lever pulled in, blip the throttle a little just prior to nudging the shift lever toward neutral. If the engine's not running leave the clutch lever out and push the bike forward until it stops, then push the bike backward until it stops. The center of those two extremes will be where it's easy to nudge the tranny into and out of gear.

You should be able to pull in the clutch while putting your foot on the brake and be able to start the trike if in gear and all the switches are working correctly.

once in a while i just reach down and pull the shifter up by hand. Only seems to be a problem at the gas pumps.

Guess he got it fixed. Would have been nice if he came back and shared.

 

[Zammy]

I agree, but he hasn't logged on since he posted the question last year.

I know right?! Why is it that some if not most Harleys just have to be so random? Consistantly inconsistant.
