dreaded neutral issues

[noonster]

having trouble when i stop on my rd350lc, cant get from 1st and into neutral

gears through the gears no probs

i have found when removing the stargear that it as some sharpe edges around the neutral position tooth

should i buy the buy the pro star kit of norbo but still use the original stiff spring, or use the light way spring

or just use a dremmel to clean up the edges on the neutral tooth them put back together

Star isn't the usual issue. Easiest to try the Oil 'fix' first.
I use GL4 gear oil.
Eliminated my Finding 1st issues.. entirely. Worth a try?

Cobble up a small Jig. Basically a pivot pin for the Star so you can rotate it uniformly against a grinder wheel..
To ensure all star points get equally flattened, then carefully grind/ polish those flats into smooth rounds.
Not rocket science .. just work..
IMO 'upgrading' the follower bearing is more self indulgence than useful.

this same problem as your previous post - rdlccrazy.proboards.com/thread/55273/dreaded-neutral-position-twist
Did you check to see if its clutch drag which is the common problem and grinding the star doesnt help with that. (Im going to try Silkolene gear oil in mine as it seems Silkolene is ok for wet clutches)

Dropping from 2nd to neutral just before you stop helps alot
