    Hi everybody

    From what I've read in other forums, engaging neutral point in a Husqvarna TE 250 2010 when stopped is a pain in a##, a very known issue.
    Even with my boots off, going either from 1st or 2nd gear to neutral point is very hard to find, I hardly feel the jump to engage the neutral point.
    Well, when doing enduro trails falling down is pretty common (at least for me) and I get pissed off trying to put the bike running (electric start) because I can't find easily the neutral point.

    Clutch oil is ok, although the clutch lever picks very up, what should I do to solve this issue ?

    Unfortunately, you just have to deal with it.

    Look at the good side, no false neutrals while riding.

    It would seem most dirt bikes have trouble with finding neutral.

    I have 4 methods to find neutral.
    1. Stop the engine. Easy to find neutral.
    2. Whilst decelerating to a stop select neutral by applying light pressure to the shifter coming out of second gear on the way to first.
    3. If stopped and the engine is running, give the engine a rev and as it transitions from driving to dragging, apply slight pressure to the shifter and you will get neutral when the clutch is briefly unloaded.
    4. Go up a nasty goat track and shift from 2nd to 1st when your life depends on it - finds neutral all the time!

    Isn't number four the truth? Almost never fails to have that happen.
