    My Tiger 1050 2009, has developed a slightly stick gears. Seems to get worse as it heats up, yet can also "not" show any symptoms after a run.
    Sometimes stopping at lights - will not return to neutral, however will easily change to 1st from other dears, and move off.
    Parking up I now occasionally have to turn engine off....then it slots easily into neutral.
    Any ideas?
    Thanks.

    Best to into yourselve first but the issues you describe are not unheard off,use search and you will find info regarding chain tension/clutch cable adjustment/keeping bike off side stand/oil changes etc etc.

    Not totally resolved but proper chain tension and clutch lever adjustment help,best help I’ve found is always keep bike vertical on a warrior stand or similar,even leaving it for few days on side stand I notice it’s more difficult to engage neutral.
