I added some oil cuz I noticed i was a bit low.

I took it around the block and noticed I was having trouble shifting it into neutral.

The gear shifter feels really really stiff trying to put it into neutral. Other gears work fine. Its so bad that i have to jam it into neutral to get it in.

I may have just added a wee bit too much oil. So before i start taking some out, anyone have any ideas?

Just checked it again, and it seemed to have went away. I"ll post again if it happens again.

1) Please check your oil level while the bike is on the center stand. :mrgreen:

2) If it's all good, then the next thing is to check the oil you added. Was it the same as in the bike? If you don't know (eg: if the last owner changed the oil) Then change the oil on the bike.
Shifting will be much smoother with new oil in there. :thumb:

3) Next, check your clutch cable, and make sure it doesn't look coroded. Lube it while you are at it.

Good luck
Cheers
