    Hi everyone, the problem is, when my bike is stationary but the engine is running it is very hard to get into the gears you know so I can from N to 1st with ease, but when I try 1st upwards then it doesn't have any of it, also it is very hard to get into N from 1st when the bike is running but stationary, another problem is the gear indicator says it's in N but when I let go of my clutch it starts to move like it's in gear meaning I have to turn the engine off get it into neutral and turn it back on, thankyou anyone for being able to help me, it is much appreciated ::)

    Dj in your other post you said the. Bike was new , is it new or just new to you ? Also on those type engines oil level is important to the trans , cause it's inside & uses it to lube , your clutch is also out of adjustment , not just at clutch lever , if your bike is brand new dealer should fix the shifting problum

    Clutch Adjustment off
    Clutch worn out
    Not enough oil
    broken trans shifter (doubtful)

    Hi cowboy, the bike is brand new so I am hoping the clutch problem is just because it is new, another thing is I took it on some private land today and only got a max speed of 40mph out of it, it should go faster being a 125 shouldn't it?

    Take it back to the dealer...it should go faster than 40...I had a yamaha 125 that would do 60.

    After the engine is warmed up you don't need the choke on. Did you try with the choke closed all the way? If that does not work buy a better bike. :rolleyes:
