MOTORCYCLE SUZUKI 2004 DL 650. MOTORCYCLE WILL FIND "NEUTRAL" AT TIMES AND LOCATIONS WHEN RIDER IS INTENDING TO BE IN GEAR. THIS IS NOT SPECIFIC TO ANY GEAR OR CONDITION, ALTHOUGH IT MOST OFTEN OCCURS BETWEEN 1ST AND SECOND GEAR. THIS OCCURRENCE IS COMMON ONCE THE RIDER BEGINS TO SQUEEZE THE CLUTCH LEVER TO SHIFT TO 3RD GEAR, AND THE BIKE THEN IS FOUND TO BE IN NEUTRAL. AFTER A SHIFT TO SECOND AGAIN, WHEN INTENDING TO GO TO THIRD GEAR, THIS CAN BE A SIGNIFICANT PROBLEM AND SAFETY CONCERN. THIS ALSO HAPPENS REGULARLY IN BETWEEN OTHER GEARS AND OFTEN UNDER ACCELERATION. FIRST OCCURRENCE: 2004 FREQUENCY OF OCCURRENCE: OFTEN. MANY TIMES MULTIPLE TIMES PER DAY. *TR
