Gender Neutral?

[Gibson44]

I own a R1250GS registered in 2020. 36,000 miles on.
Recently I’ve noticed it’s getting very difficult to select Neutral. Especially when the motor is warm. It just jumps between 1st and second gears.
Has anyone experienced this problem, and what did it turn out to be?
The bike is still under extended warranty.

If it can't go from 1 to 0 maybe it's non binary.

Mine struggles to find neutral sometimes as well. I just assumed it was the tractor esc gear box!

On a tour of Ireland last month I found that my 2020 R1250GSA was struggling to find neutral, sometime going into second gear, it seemed to be ok when I rode it last week.

Try where possible to snick neutral before coming to a halt. Much smoother.

lever needs adjusting also check hand lever end

the solution is half way between a footjob and a handjob... it's just a matter of timing....

Turn it off in 1st, it will stop it rolling off the stand too

Have you tried adjusting the clutch cable?

I had this problem too but I recently bought a Wunderlich adjustable gear lever from a member here. Suddenly, neutral is easy to find again

I always found mine to be really easy when it had new oil in eg after a service, so moved to 3k intervals. Kept it until 37k. Always wondered if a replacement gearbox would improve things.
