Wha? None of you guys have ever done this?? I have, I just did it out on our last big ride. You know you go to shift, and instead of 2nd you only get it to neutral and then you turn the throttle, and VROOMMMM!! goes the engine but your not going anywhere. It only happens for a split second until you pull the clutch back in. Come on, I know everyone has done this, you would be lying to say that you haven't!!

I really like riding the XT 225. While its underpowered, it is so quiet compared to the KLX that it feels likeI'm in stealth mode. [8D] The bike is perfect for the wife. She just needs to ride more in order to gain confidence.Oh and I hope you don't mind, but I corrected the spelling and sentence spacing in your post, that's just how I roll.[sm=owned.gif][sm=wootwoot.gif]

The worst thing you can do to any engine is rev it too high in neutral. I believe the limiter is set at 9500 and supposedly a Vortex ignition is available and can get up to 11900 And the HP is still climbing on the Dyno. I read this a while ago on some website and I don't know how accurate it is but your missed 2nd test seems to support the limiter theory.

Will, from what I hear Deej's wife is just calling to talk to your mom so she can have her tell you its time to clean your room.
And to add some value to this thread, I find the bike seems to pop out of second and back into neutral afterI shift and start to get on it. Not all the time but more often then I would like. I think over the winter the shifter star is coming out and getting the grinder treatment.

RE: Redline?
The shifting is one of the issues that I had with this bike. When off road and in some pretty deep s**t it would miss and put me in a less desireable situation. Oh well, problem solved, new (old) bike! And loving it.
