5th gear slips into neutral

scastro901 · May 17, 2010

I saw another mention in the forums of going from 4th to 5th and getting a neutral feeling. My problem is that my fury is brand new, and in the first 200 miles, twice I was in 5th gear and then the transmission slips and the engine revs and I lose power (as if I'm in neutral). I have to pull the clutch and reclick the pedal up to set it back in 5th gear.

So I'm a little concerned now. Is this a common Fury issue? What can cause a 5th gear disengage? Gear selector fork issue? Collar issue?

I have just over 200 miles and I'm bringing it to the dealer for the 600 mile service when I get there. I'll let them know of this issue and I'll keep my ears and eyes open so I can strictly document how it happens. But yesterday's ride I was definitely cruising in 5th on the highway and it slipped into neutral, engine screamed, and I had to reset it back into 5th and it ran fine the rest of the way.

Thanks guys.

the 4th and 5th gears are smaller and the sync gear is larger, it will require a good solid punch. this is normal. quite a few mfgr's have this issue (incl. good old Harley)

I've had the same issue and spoke to the dealer. They looked to see if any service notices regarding and found none. Also, since its not a reproducible problem and occurs when it wants they said they wouldn't even know where to start. I spoke to Honda Service Support ( 866-784-1870 ) and they stated they were not aware of any issues. The advisor did take my info and recorded complaint. The more people that do this may lead Honda to look into it.....

Someone please clarify

What's the clutch lever assembly (the lever on the handlebar - or the shifter levers to the tranny?)
Some call it,"The lever and Linkage".
Some call it, "The lever assemblly for the cluch".
Can some one be more specific? I'm going to the dealer today.

I have noticed the last two winters, that when I get the bike out to ride after sitting for months, it has a little trouble going into neutral. It gets real touchy. I think riding and putting some miles on it gets everything lubed back up and it runs fine thereafter.

I have said it before and ill say it again. It's called (Toe Jam) take that big toe and jam it in 5th gear and it will stay. LOL

Don't forget that you can shift from 2nd to neutral, which is handy :grin:
