How do,

Got my Series 2 Li 150 (with Mugello 186) back from the scoot shop the other day as the kickstart shaft had snapped internally. Running pretty well but since then if I try to change to neutral from 1st while at a stop it won't budge until I start moving again (or stall/kill engine). Not the end of the world as if I'm coming to a red light or whatever I just shift it to neutral before stopping but it is a pain in busy traffic and worried it might mean a bigger problem is on the way.

Any ideas what this would be?

Ta,

Dan

If the problem has occurred since it's been to the shop then I'd take it back.

It sounds like the clutch needs adjusting to me .

Haha, nope. Got a tank I can borrow?

Very high compression, shite at starting, worn shaft teeth and a bobbins kickstart meant it was getting kicked over more than it should have done and taking a right beating. That's all sorted now though.
