Shifting trouble 1125

[BurningExample]

I seem to be having a hard time shifting and finding neutral. It's been getting worse and worse. Any suggestions where to start??

Needs the slave rebuilt.
EBR and twin cycles both sell a repair kit under 100 dollars
Bleeding it will buy you some time

Is there a write up on this?

Check your clutch resevoir fluid level... and also check to make sure clutch itself isnt leaking. If you have an '08, clutch weep is common issue. May be hard to shift because of that.

Clutch fluid looks good, it's an 09 1125r.

Is this it? Or is there a better site ?

Mine is always a pain to find neutral. Only way it goes to neutral easy is while I am rolling up to a stop otherwise it's really hard to get in neutral while setting at the stop light.

Pull the puck out of the right side cover.
likely you'll find brake fluid in it.
easiest way to bleed open resivour crack bleeder squeeze n hold lever.
Close bleeder release lever.
Keep resivour full.

Watch were you spill brake fluid it will destroy paint

Mine has been like that from day one. Already had the clutch weep fixed. My brothers bike is the same way. 03firebolt has a CR and I have ridden it, same thing, they just aren't a easy trans to find neutral. Not saying RT doesn't know what he is talking about, you should do like he says pull the puck to see if fluid is present and if it's not bleed it. But keep in mind it's not a easy bike to find neutral.

I have no issue with my CR. My XB is a bitch to find neutral though.

I had the same issue. The clutch reservoir was almost empty. It shifts perfectly now.
