I have often wondered why more motorcycle manufacturers do not use the Kawasaki positive neutral finder "three little ball bearings" technology. It works great, you can always find neutral. I wonder if it's a patent thing 'cause the presence of the neutral finder ball bearing technology sure doesn't have and adverse effect on the shifting of the Kawi's I've ridden.

Your clutch cable hasn't snapped while waiting at a redlight yet, now has it? Are you in for an education...especially if you " must" rev your bike unnecessarily at every stop sign/ redlight. Can you spell "wheelie into an active intersection?"
I thought you could.
Once you get a car or two behind you, snick it into neutral.

OP, still waiting on your bike's year/model, but have to ask when you last had clutch adjusted? Finding neutral shouldn't be a problem...

It sounds to me like he's purposefully adjusted his clutch for a "personalized" feel at the clutch lever, with the side effect of being unable to fully disengage the clutch.
