1977 Honda 4004/4 Neutral selection.
Vital Spark:
Hi - New member with neutral selection problems - bike was trailered to MOT and when on brake rollers discovered neutral could only be selected with engine off.
I have not ridden the bike previously as bought without MOT and requiring work - passenger in major a car smash has probably meant I will not ever use it so I am selling same when I fix this problem.
So what is the scenario of engine on but no neutral? Easily selected by hand for 1st or 2nd.
Thanking you in anticipation,
Richard.
Nurse Julie:
Hi Richard. Welcome to the forum.
From my experience it sounds like a clutch problem. Try putting on centre stand, spin back wheel and try and select neutral that way. If the bike has been sat around not being used, it may be the clutch plates stuck together.

Vital Spark:
Thanks for that Julie - no centre stand but twice when I have hauled it out of the garage the clutch has been siezed - easily freed without stripping and selects 1st with usual clunk and slight drop in revs therby indicating plates are free?
Best regards,
Richard.
Nurse Julie:
No centre stand !!! So, it could still be the plates, or the cable that is seized?. I don't get a drop in revs or a clunk when engaging 1st on my 400/4
Bryanj:
I agree with the nurse, you have got clutch drag, although it is always easier to get neutral when moving
