After getting my fork seals replaced, the old Sprint suddenly developed a finding neutral
issue. I find it but from 2nd down, not 1st up and she seems tight and hard to find. Could this be a clutch not disengaging issue. She sat for about 3 weeks not being ridden ........suggestions please?

Trypcil,

When was your bike last serviced, maybe a change of oil might do the trick.

Hope you get it sorted.

Somewhat of an improvement, slight - it's as if there is a burr that's wearing itself down. Shall not be able to ride her for a week (business) - hopefully she'll fix herself(ha). How that 'burr' got to where ever it is, I've no idea - all very strange! :???: :-g
