I have a 02 520SX that always seems to hit neutral when shifting between 1st and 2nd.The problem has grown progressively worse as the bike has been run in (3 weeks).

This is now my 3rd 520 (2000 exc & 2001exc previously owned) and I did not have this same problem.

I have to shift slowly and deliberately in order to miss the neutral. It is a real pain at times when a quick shift is required.

I am about to send the bike to the shop for them to fit the the 5th and 6th gears. What should I ask them to look out for that could be causing the problem?

Your input is appreciated:think

This may sound stupid, but did you check that the shift lever has no play(between the lever and the shaft)? Two of the three KTMs we've had (-01 and -02 380 SXs and a -02 520 SX) have had the lever almost fall off.
