I have a problem trying to get into neutral from first gear could it be the oil level if so which oil do i need and how much.also the red light comes on and the f i flashes could you please tell me what the problem could be. thank you. gsxr1000 k5.

If it's in neutral the clutch condition has nothing to do with it. The neutral safety switch is only to prevent starting it in gear and having the bike lunge so it's not that either. It's the gears pushing the oil around which puts some amount of push on any bike, but it shouldn't be noticeable. Verify that the oil type and level is correct. Does it creep less after it's warmed up? That's because the oil thins out some and has less push on the gears.

Check the gear box oil level sounds low to me i had a similar problem with a auto box car before and as for your steering it could be a worn steering rack if the oil level is good

Usually this is caused by either of two things. The first thing is that your clutch is dragging and needs to be adjusted. I'd tell you how to do that but you didn't tell me what year or model bike you're working on. The next thing is too much oil in the primary. If the oil level is too high, oil gets between the clutch disc when it's disengaged and acts like transmission fluid in a torque converter in an automatic transmission. It will put pressure on the clutch even though it is disengaged causing your transmission to shift past neutral every time you try to find it.

Good Luck

you have a broken overdrive drum inside the transmission, the only way to repair it is to overhaul or replace the transmission....sorry

Check the gear box oil level....I'm thinking that you have a auto box....this should be done on level ground and with the engine running at idle speed....To check level correctly place your foot onto the brake hard and also select the parking brake....With the engine running, move the selector lever from park into reverse and then to neutral then to 'D', followed by the lower range gears and then moving up to 'D', and then to neutral again and then to reverse and back to neutral....Leave each position engaged for about one second....Leaving the engine running and the park brake engaged check that the gear box oil is at the correct level....It should be between the marks indicated on the red topped dip stick....When filling with Automatic Transmission Fluid (ATF) through the same tube where dip stick is located the engine should also be running and care taken not to over fill....Once at the correct level the vehicle should behave normally.

You do not say if it is a manual or auto.

Manual - The level fill plug is left hand side looking up at the gear box from underneath on your back, head at the engine end. Undo on level ground or a ramp if possible. You will need a imperial socket/spanner set.
When you undo the upper plug, which is about the middle of the box, you should find a clear red oil in side, is just below the thread level. You will not see this so use a pencil as a dip stick, only putting in an inch, do not let go of it, and if you find that the level is low check seals. If less than 1/4 inch don't worry.

Top as needed with gear box oil see owners hand book, or your local autostore. If if brown or milky coff coloured it is in need of replacement and any problems such as water ingress will need to be identified.

Autos is easy, dip stick in the engine bay up by the bulk head......though you will need to run the engine at some stage of checking this, and use you hand brake, engine in neutral. There is an oil filler tube to top to amke life a bit easier.

NO. 24% is Engine Oil Life. You need the trans checked out.

Check the fluid level first,either too low a level or too high a level can cause erratic shifting and also if the oil smells as if its burnt there could be internal damage to clutches and brake bands.The fluid would be the first thing to chech anyway with the car driven and warmed up first and then check the oil level in neutral while car is idling.

first i would check the transmission oil, do this by starting the engine and leave it running, select all the gears (park, Reverse, neutral etc) then put it back to neutral, leave engine running then locate the transmission dipstick in the engine bay, remove and wipe the dipstick, replace then pull out again, if the oil is showing between the cold and hot marks then level is ok. I shoing lower or none, top up the oil level with automatic tansmission oil, keep rechecking the oil level as adding oil as to ensure it is not over full. will need to select all gears again before checking oil level again.
If the oil level is correct than quite likley a Transmission failure will require mechanic.

the oil level is max upper line on the sight glass on engine/ coolant level is max at upper level of expansion bottle as to the gears from neutral first is up and the rest are down
