Bikes very hard to get into netural , especially when running,i put clutch fluid in but still the same . The bike is idle a lot and is seldom used mabey it just needs a squirt of oil somewhere ? hope you can help. its an FJ1200 1990.
Yep I can help.The clutch has about 6-8 or more plates in it.When they are not used they can stick together.It needs to be taken apart,cleaned and put back together in exactly the same order.Instead of all the plates slipping,only a few spin.This goes into the g/box and makes it spin when it should be stopped.The fj have a great clutch in them.This may really help your problem.

If you are at idle, in neutral, with the clutch lever pulled all the way in, and you shift into gear and the engine dies, it is likely the switch at the clutch lever. When they fail the bike does not get the signal that the clutch is disengaged and it is safe to shift into gear. Have that switch checked. Some bikes also have a side stand switch, make sure your side stand is always up before putting you bike into gear.
Get car oil out - friction reducing properties ruin wet clutches - put bike oil in Make sure cable is adjusted properly Plates may get stuck together after time unused - see my tip for quickly releasing seized clutches Ride Safe Bike-Doc
Any of the yz and wrf 250 and 426 ,450 will overheat and water will come out of the radiator if you let it sit and idle.After a hard run it happens quickly.20 seconds.After a cold startup,5 mins.If you own one of these bikes,turn it off after TEN seconds of idling.ESPECIALLY after a hard ride.Basic rule.They do not like to idle.They need air over the radiator......Hope this helps
The clutch in your bike is a wet clutch. There is a lot of hyrdostatic friction even when the clutch is released completely. I think a large factor is the type, age and condition of oil. Perhaps something as simple as an oil change would help.
The 09 models come with a "parade" mode which causes the rear cyclinder to quit firing when idling in traffic etc to combat over heating. You should be able to kick it on by rolling the throttle grip FORWARD for 5 to 10 seconds. Have you changed the pipes or air filter? If you have and never had the EFI adjusted (either factory download or fuel tuner installed) your bike could be running extra rich causing the over heating and eventual engine destruction. New Harleys run rich from the factory, any changes to the intake/exhaust system without proper fuel injection management will cause overheating. Try getting your bike into parade mode by rolling the throttle forward to the stops for a few seconds, that will cool things down.
The neutral switch is mounted in the left end of the shift drum. It is part number 13151-1080. There is an associated part, "PIN-neutral position" #92043-076 The pin is under a bolt screwed into the top case. Bad switch or loose wire connection.
