False neutrals are common on many motorcycles.

[steveo]

The defect may allow the motorcycles to go into a false neutral position even though the neutral indicator light is illuminated, it said.

NINO? Neutral In Name Only?

[HOTTIEBOY]

Not surprising from a company that sells more t-shirts and genuine Harley induced crap than they do bikes.

[Disambiguator]

False Neutral = In Gear (but the light is on)

[TXBSAFH]

What they did not the the right number of oil (5+)leaks?

[TXBSAFH]

Harley Davison is a mechandising company that as one of the product line makes overpriced motorcycles.

[Abathar]

Yep, not enough power to yank a lesbian off your kid sister.

[Red Badger]

I had a 73 Honda that I could put in neutral between gears. I wasn't supposed to do that.......But then, the manual didn't say you couldn't do it.........The Dealer told me not to do it because it could suddenly "catch" and throw me off at a stoplight.......

[HOTTIEBOY]

Harley owners are like democrats. The ride around on this heavy, slow, overrated, chrome plated combine and follow the bewildered herd that clings to an image with no real substance.

[Red Badger]

That's not a safety issue. At least not for the rider.......

Oil leaks ? As the former owner of three Limeys, (last was a Norton 850) you don't know REAL oil leaks, my man.

[Red Badger]

The light is on, but nobody's home.......

[HOTTIEBOY]

My Yamaha falls into neutral and still outruns harleys. At half the displacement and half the cost.

[Red Badger]

I hate it when you try to show off and miss a gear because it goes into a false neutral instead. You revv the hell out of it and look like a dork........

[freepatriot32]

buy a harley get the best ride a mile and walk the rest. :-)

[TXBSAFH]

Oh you owned a Norton Valdez?

[HOTTIEBOY]

I implore you all. For the real low-down on Harley visit this site.

Funny that Baker et al have been doing six speed boxes for a while that HD gets caught this way. Anyone know if the Motor Company builds the boxes themselfs or who they buy 'em from?
