Hello, I just bought a 2009 Hyosung gt 250r that has about 800 miles on it. The bike rides great looks great and sounds great, but recently when I'm stopped in first gear it will lock up and it won't let me switch up to neutral. When I'm riding it switches down and up with gears perfectly but just when I'm stopped in first it won't switch to neutral. Also when the engine is not running I can switch into neutral just fine from first, but when it's running I can't.

just loosen then re-align front wheel and tighten it back up - check the manual for torque settings and if there are locking bolts on the forks

• If a hole in the piston then install new piston and rings. Next, clean the carbon off the head and install a new head gasket.
• If cylinder wall is scared the piston has seized up. Pull the cylinder off and take it to the dealer. Have them bore the cylinder and return it along with a new oversize piston and rings.
• While at the parts counter, get a new stock spark plug and a supply of Yamalube Two Stroke Motor Oil. You need to add 4 ounces per gallon when filling up. This will be a 32/1 gas to oil ratio. NEVER ride the bike without at least the needed 32/1 mix.

Obviously, harmonics are at play here. I suggest you change gearbox oil and filter then change the oil again (w/o filter) after 50 miles. The idea is to flush dirt and grit from the engine. Try the bike now. Some would say this is a long shot but it is cheap and not much hassle > and it may well work. If nothing else, it cant't hurt anything. Change to premium gas to eliminate pre-ignition.

If the vibration is still present you had best take the bike to the dealer for his first hand input. Broken clutch friction plate? Bearing going bad? Connecting rod going bad? If I had to wager I would go with the clutch. I am reaching here. Not much more I can do.

Cape Cod Bob, What are your thoughts?

This issue is common on some bikes because of the new emission laws. They tend to run to lean at certain revs to meet the new emission rules. Fitting a power commander will stop the fuel system leaning out.
