I know. Bloody nuisance.


Put it on the stand.rear wheel in the air. With the engine running. Engage all the  gears.

Ideally you sit on it.pull in the clutch. And operate rear brake.

Does the wheel stop ok?

Ahh.

Rear stand arriving next week from America.
I will try that as soon as it’s fitted John

K2-K6:
When you put the drive chain on and the rear wheel is stationary,  then half the gearbox (the half connected to output sprocket)  becomes stationary too.  This generally makes it feel very obstructive so you shouldn't force it. Before that,  no chain, all the gearbox components can revolve together and in effect simulate the bike going along normally.

As John's advice above,  get rear wheel off the ground and try then,  it'll probably feel ok.

I wouldn't force it as described for risk of bending a selector fork.

brodsord:
Thanks K2.
I’ll get back to you both once I’ve got her on the stand.
Thank you both for your advice.

Hi John, hi K2,

Seems I can move through the gears ok,
I can’t seem to get her to go into neutral,
I’ve just rode her around my drive and same thing, changes gear ok but trying to get into neutral is very difficult.
Thanks for any advice.
Graham
