In motorcycles, including Harley-Davidson models, the neutral gear refers to a gear position where the engine is disengaged from the transmission. When a motorcycle is in neutral, the power from the engine is not being transmitted to the rear wheel, allowing the rider to start the engine and idle without moving forward or backward.

On most Harley-Davidson motorcycles, finding the neutral gear is typically done by shifting through the gears from first gear, often referred to as "1," to second gear, "2," and so on, until you reach neutral. Depending on the model and design, some Harley-Davidson motorcycles may have a neutral indicator light on the instrument cluster to assist in finding the neutral position.

It's important to note that the specific location of the neutral gear may vary slightly between different Harley-Davidson models, so it's always a good practice to consult the owner's manual for your particular motorcycle to understand the exact procedure for finding neutral.
