Default m5r1 tries to drive in neutral!!
Only happens when i leave 2nd gear...wont shift into any other gear "easily" after that. So being in neutral and letting clutch out it tries to move forward very slowly and if I let the clutch out fully it almost stalls.

This problem is intermittent and if I shift 1st to 3rd everything is fine and shifts smooth. Ive removed to the top cover and visually inspected forks and syncro's/gears and they appear good.

Any input to what is going on is greatly appreciated!

Took the top cover off and had a look at them. They are the aluminum ones and didn't look bent or worn Was my first guess too
