Chances are your clutch is worn. Fluid should not make any difference.

It just occured to me that I have zero issues finding neutral whenever I'm wearing my normal steel toe riding boots but I DO have issues when I'm wearing sneakers.

Just a thought.

Shouldn't?.. tranny has gear lube and primary has a wet clutch, how can it not have an affect? .. Stock clutch is pretty solid under regular riding. I checked my clutch discs at about 62k and I could not measure any appreciable wear.

Adjustment and fluids are the two main contributors.. and then you throw in the intangibles like softer footwear
