If my engine is running, it's sometimes hard for me to find neutral. And I can only get to it upshifting. I can never get it there downshifting. I've put 2300 miles on mine since May. When the engine is off, I can find it no problem. WEIRD????

I haven't had any problems, but thanks for the video. Definitely will be looking at that again here in a week or so when it's time to do my 5,000 service.

I find it is easier to put into second gear then put into neutral, than putting the bike in first and trying to find neutral.

Funny, EVERY THREAD he posts in turns into a discussion on what she's saying, what songs she's listening to, or if she's famous. And I can't get enough too!

On topic, finding neutral gets easier as the bike gets older. Even then, it can sometimes be a PITA. Roll if back and forth a bit with the clutch in and then try again. That seems to work well too.
