My Oct 2003 Pulsar 180 DTS-i has covered 30,000 km and I have very rarely come across false neutrals. If you bike is newer than that, I am sure the gearbox would be better built to avoid even those. The trick to avoid a false neutral is to shift properly and completely. You have to get the "feel" of gear slotting in correctly before you let go of the clutch and your foot off the lever. The times when I have faced a false neutral... has always been when I half heartedly shifted. The trick of doing it right is to do it firmly (not harshly) and positively. You will understand how the gear falls in by the feedback on your toes. I also suggest shifting only using your toes (not heel) because I guess the toes are more sensitive to movement. I can only assume this as I have a toe only shifter and hence know to use only that! Learn to do that and you will almost never have false neutrals again. > The accident happen when I ride in an ascend road, I'm using 1st gear > that time, but, suddently, the gear becoming netral.

Couldn't you brake (after holding in the clutch) and stop in time or atleast change the gear in time.

Unless you used non specification oil. What is the grade of oil did you put in, not the brand! Cheers, Glifford.
