vespa px 125 with electric starter and muffler with catalytic converter), when the engine is on, but you are standing still, it is impossible to shift from first speed to neutral. As soon as you turn off the engine - you shift without problems. How to solve this problem? thanks in advance to everyone
It's probably that your clutch is dragging, not fully disengaged. Best case you can adjust cable for more disengagement OR you may have warped steels and are due for a clutch rebuild.
If you believe that your clutch is good, try tightening up your clutch cable until your kickstart just starts to slip then back off just a little bit. That should let you fully disengage the clutch which seems not to be happening here. Did it used to shift to neutral OK when running? Your clutch cable stretches over time.
