Tri Glide Neutral

[flatfrog]

I have a 2012 Tri Glide and unless the engine is not running,I have a really bad time getting it into neutral. Does any one else have this problem. Any suggestions?

When your clutch is adjusted at the 1,000 mile service your problem should go away.

I had exactly the same issue when I first got mine. I immediately took it back to the dealer and told them it was totally unacceptable. Service said they agreed and it was adjusted - it had about 100 miles on it. The service manager did say that they "usually" adjust it at the 1,000 mile service also. (I am fortunate that my dealer is very customer focused - no problems with any of my modifications and warranty either)

I had the same issue with finding neutral until I took it in for the 1,000 mile service, now it no problem finding neutral, I did change over to syn-oils, I think that helped also.

I have had it in for the 1000 mile service and again at 2500 mileas.Told them about it both times. It is still a problem.

I had the same problem finding neutral at first, Had the dealer adjust it at the thousand, Helped a little now at 9 thousand it seems to go in easier.
Might be that by now i learned to tap the shifter with a little more finesse?
[Light tap with my heel.]

Dealer prep problem, never had any trouble with mine from day one.

I've had that problem with every single Harley (8) I've ever owned.
And just about everyone I know has the problem....some worse then others - so it's not just a TG problem.
Is this your first Harley??

I have the same issue with getting my Tri Glide in to neutral... This is the first bike I have had that was this touchy but most other new bikes were a PITA for the first hundred miles in varying degrees. Plus I am still getting used to having a "heel and toe" shifter again, I suspect that is part of my issues....

I am another case of 1000 mi adjust and synth oil. Difference is amazing.

Amsoil 75-140 gear oil and proper adjustment works wonders.

I've been using Amsoil Severe Gear 75-140 for years and I still have problems finding neutral.

Only bikes that never gave me a problem were UJM's

My other trike has a bandit clutch on it and once I removed and readjusted the clutch that bike shifts like butter...I can find neutral in a flash..Plus a properly adjusted primary chain helps...

DRIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIVE IT! Put some miles on. Break it in. Every Harley I've owned had problems finding neutral AT FIRST. I've always used Syn in all holes and never had a problem.

I also don't like the heal/toe shifter. The heal lever comes off and I adjust the toe lever.

So true! But I still like my heel shifter. Now, with 17,000 miles, I can tap the heel shifter at a dead stop and it goes right into neutral.

I also have the same problem, even after the thousand mile adjustment.

Never did care for toe shifting, I can just give the heal a little nudge and its right into neutral with no problem. I'm also pretty quick banging through the gears with the heal shifter vs toe.

Another case of 1000 mi adjust and SE synth oil. Difference for sure.

[GARYD]

I also love my heel shifter. Use it 98% of the time. Maybe I'll try neutral with it - always used my toe before.
