secondary shouldn't rotate at idle. On a machine that old it could be a number of things. Idle set to high, clutches worn out, motor mounts shot, primary to secondary alignment.... I am assuming it shifts fine from H-N-R when the engine is not running.

i didn't think it should be also yes it does shift well when not running

That’s an indication the bearing in the primary clutch is worn out/seized...if you have engine braking it’s a one way bearing, if not it’s a two way bearing.

2 things I’d look into. Your RPM @ idle before shifting into gear.

Then also apply both brakes before shifting to see if that assists a smoother transition.

My 850 is kind of hard for me to shift but it may just be me ( weak )

Maybe not you, does it shift it easier when engine is off?

 

[Pamm]

No, the same , guess i need to shift a different 850 to see whats normal

If it shifts fine when not running and grinds when running the engine is putting a load on the secondary for some reason. It could be any of the items I mentioned above. It has nothing to do with the brakes. First thing I'd look at is the idle speed being to high. There is an adjustment screw on the side of the carb. I don't remember which side but it is a larger knob that you can adjust by hand. Idle is 600 RPM +-100

Look up a manual for that year into Google, or go into manual lib. com and it should pop up worked with my 98
