Not really Neutral

[genzer]

Just bought a 21 rgs, when trying to back off a tilt bed trailer in neutral it acts like it's in gear pulling in the clutch helps a little. And when starting it "in neutral" it jumps forward, thoughts?

Clutch drag probably, what's in the primary for oil...do ya know or did you "just" pick it up?

Don't know, I'm gonna change all the fluids anyways

Check the clutch adjustment as well. With the two piece cable and crappy plastic adjuster, it is a bit of change from the old style cable. Coming off my hydraulic and going back to cable, the first thing I did was get the FBI adjuster (also got the Muller ramps)which made it much easier to adjust.

If it tries to move forward, it is not in neutral...

What year did they go back to cable?

2021 on the touring models

Check that the transmission is not overfilled.
Mine will also try to move forward slightly when cold in neutral, I attribute it to the cold thick gear lube in the tranny. But it does not drag as you describe when rolling.

Thanks, I much preferred the hydraulic as I've a cable failures in the past, but that's just me.

Overfilled primary will create this dragging condition. This happened more often on the early M8s that experienced fluid transfer between the trans and the primary- pretty sure they had this fixed by the 2021 models, but it's worth checking fluid levels.
