Hey everyone,
I ride a 99 Ninja 250 and have a huge problem right now. When I start the bike, the engine runs fine. I am not sure what is wrong but I am able to change gears from N to 1st without using the clutch. The N light turns off but the bike does not feel like it is going into first because I don't have my hand on the clutch and the bike is still running. When I try to accelerate, the engine just revs. I am totally confused. Any suggestions?
Thanks.
Need help

You can do that on just about any bike. The question is, why are you doing it?wannabav8r wrote:Hey everyone,

The transmission is still in "neutral". It is actually in between neutral and first but still in neutral...wannabav8r wrote: The N light turns off but the bike does not feel like it is going into first because I don't have my hand on the clutch and the bike is still running.
