Just lately my '99 zzr250 seems to be "catching" in neutral a bit. It was only when fairly hot but last coupla outings has been when cold. Also had its first "false neutral" suprise moment on monday.

Is this to be expected, or a sign of something dire? I'm not losing sleep over it, but it is a little annoying. Would rather not have to have another service done so soon if possible.

The chain may need adjusting.
Some nice fresh oil may also help.

i was gunna suggest those 2 as well...good work boss, keep up the good work..

To avoid your false neutrals hold pressure on the gear lever until after you've let the clutch out. Takes a bit of getting used to but you'll never find a false neutral again.

Cheers
