Jumping into gear!

Anyone had this before?

Gearbox is really sweet while riding and neutral is easy enough to get when rolling to a stop or even stationary, however I have noticed this wee annoyance recently. With the box in neutral it jumps into 1st the instant the engine is switched off! The gearbox has been apart around 1000 miles ago to replace the layshaft bearing as I was starting to get paranoid about all the threads on here about it going wrong, So no other parts were replaced.
I'm thinking it's something to do with the tension coming off the drive train but without taking it all apart and checking everything I'm trying to cut to the chase and see if anyone has had this in the past and can tell me where to focus my attention initially.

Cheers

Pull the detent for the shifting fork cam and see if the spring may be broken. That just a thought.

Mac man

Tis indeed my beastie, the Tupperware does attract the dirt and other airborne menaces native to this part of the world but nothing some Muc Off won't shift. With you on the album front and it is played regularly at 11 on the amp. Pity you couldn't help with the wee problem though!

Surely that would give selection problems through the entire range though! I'll have a wee look and see what I can see.

Must be plan B , take her out on the twisties , and chuck it about at the highest speeds possible , flail it within an inch of her life. I guarantee when you get home you'll be to buzzed up to care if it jumps into 1st gear.
It usually works for me, unless I break down , but even then your new break down takes you mind of the original one.

On that note ,when cleaning parts with petrol be well ventilated or you could end up like me!

Hope you get it sorted, cheers J
You have had the outer cover off for a look see!
