Hi, I recently bought my son a 2003 Ozark 250 he is have trouble shifting from neutral to first any ideas as to what it could be?

Thanks in advance Tim

 

My 250 Yamaha Moto4 was very stiff and notchy to shift with boots on. I switch the oil from conventional to full synthetic. After that it always shifted smooth even with sandals on.

Beats me why,but it did the trick.

 

I am planning to change the oil today anyway, so I will use full synthetic, I will repost with results. Thank you TLC for your help.

 

Just make sure you use a motorcycle grade Snythetic made for wet clutches. Amsoil is a good one of many.

It should state if its for wet clutches right on the lable.

 

Also check your idle rpm, it should be set to a low rpm at idle for ease of shifting.
