    Shifting Question??????

    I have a 2001 Yamaha F115. Recently it has not been shifting properly. When I pulled the throttle to neutral it stays in gear. I have to put it in reverse and then bring it back to neutral in order for it to go out a gear into neutral. Any ideas or thoughts as to what might be the issue?
