Why is it always difficult to shift into neutral on an international motorcycle gearbox?

[VonFinn]

The reasons why it is always difficult to shift into neutral on an international motorcycle gearbox are: The vehicle has not passed the break-in period: If the vehicle has not yet reached 5,000 kilometers, this difficulty in shifting into neutral may occur during the break-in period. Advantages of the international gearbox: It is relatively safe, with a sequential shifting pattern. Neutral is located between 1st and 2nd gear, and the shifting sequence is as follows: press down for 1st-N-pull up for 2nd-3rd-4th-5th. Neutral is between 1st and 2nd gear, and downshifting can only be done one gear at a time. This prevents the possibility of quickly shifting from a high speed directly past neutral into 1st gear. Disadvantages of the international gearbox: For many beginners, it can be quite uncomfortable. There is no gear display, and it is easy to lose track of where neutral is. It also tends to dirty shoes, which many people can relate to—wearing white shoes on a rainy day can be quite unpleasant.
