Finding Neutral on my FLSTC is such an ordeal, for me anyway. Any tips? Often times when looking for neutral I will notice neutral light up on my display and then disappear.

 

Use your foot. Your oil choice and clutch adjustment can be a factor.

 

My 2011 was also until My Harley mechanic adj. my clutch right and lowered the back lever on my shiftier My clutch had too much slop at the handle bar. Now it pops right in neutral.

 

Thanks... I will bring your reccomendation up when I take my bike in for it's 1000 mile check.

 

Proper clutch adjustment is a big part. I use Redline Heavy oil in the trans also. It helps to cut down the clunk noise. I find neutral as I am slightly rolling after downshifting into first. Works for me.

 

I have the same problem with mine however I've found that using the heel portion of my shifter, just a lil bump with my heel and she'll slide in. Works for me, much easier than hunting for it with my toe.

All you have to do is learn your pressure points when going for Neutral.

When I 1st started it was difficult until I learned what worked best for me.

When coming to a stop pressing down of the front pressing down through the gears until it had no more down, then you learn how much pressure to apply on the back with my heel to gently bump down to find neutral.

It’s like anything else dealing with motor cycles until we learn what it takes it’s going to be different until we find what works then we move on.

 

Normal in new bikes.

 

its also easier to shift into neutral before you come to a complete stop.

on a new bike, it will get easier with time, clutch adj., primary fluid changes, etc.... but mostly, you'll learn the quirks of your bike and how it likes to be 'tickled'

 

It's like that on all new Harley's (at least the three I have had).

Easiest time to find neutral is starting off from first gear at a light or making a turn :P
