One of several reasons... 1. You are not getting the transmission into neutral correctly 2. The neutral detent spring/plunger is weak/broken 3. The shift drum locator is worn or broken 4. The shift shaft arm that moves the shift drum is worn or broken 5. You have extremely worn shift forks. Its time to have a professional look at it... this jumping into gear will eventually cause serious damage to your transmission.

you can use a brake bleeder on caliber. leave cover of slave cyl. to keep it full. do not let it run dry.

Hi I would check the connection between the battery and the starter motor although its quite feasable that your starter is worn and is loading up, which makes it slow to turn and require more power from the battery. Maybe you can remove the starter motor for testing?

Go to this site guy is good at explaining things and has a whole array of photos.... http://www.gadgetjq.com/reartireoff.htm

Check that there is power in battery if so check man. Fuze.

are you running 20w50 oil? if yes, probably full synthetic. try running a standard 10w40 oil or something not as heavy as what your using. heavy oil in combination with cooler weather makes for heavier oil, harder for your starter to turn the gears through it. warmer days, gears move easier.

Check the connections they may be loose. If the connections are loose just tighten them and it should work. If not replace the battery. Most of the time if a battery sulfates it will still show a full charge but will not have the CCA (Cold Cranking Amps) to start the bike. Take the battery and have it tested. CycleGear can test the battery I think. If not most autozones can check the battery. I am 99% sure it will need to be replaced. If the relay or solenoid were bad there would be no clicking at all.

Yes. There should be several fuses, check them all.

Wet clutches need the proper oil. Is there any possibility it has the wrong oil?

undo the bleed nipple slightly on the slave cylinder , remove cover on clutch lever and make sure to keep it topped up as you bleed ! pull lever and hold as you nip up the nipple then release lever ! do this several times , be careful not to get fluid on paint work as it will melt it ! once done top up fluid and fit cover and try !

there are 2 bolts at the front of the seat, takeoff the seat, unsrew the bolts. that is the only thing holding it on. push the tank forward a bit, then lift up. there are breather tubes under the tank. be careful, they are difficult to get back on depending on the length. there are 2 bolts at the front of the seat, takeoff the seat, unsrew the bolts. that is the only thing holding it on. push the tank forward a bit, then lift up. there are breather tubes under the tank. be careful, they are difficult to get back on depending on the length.
