    For the first time in 2700 miles I found a false neutral today between 5th and 6th at about 10,000 revs, ended up having to stop before finding the gears, all worked ok after.

    I've found a false neutral between 5th and 6th. Only happens when I am cruising at about 60 miles and get a bit lazy with more foot shift. Not a good feeling

    fitted which helps.also adjusting the gear changer to a lower position helps.
