If the clutch is properly adjusted, it will be a piece of cake to find neutral.&nbsp\\; If there is the slightest bit of drag, finding neutral will be a PITA.

m.a.c.

Wifes 08 FLHX is touchy. She is getting better at it. I have ridden it and it is VERY hard to get in sometimes. It has syn and she does raise the rpms but sometimes at the gas pump I hear "aw screw it!", and she just shuts it off in gear.&nbsp\\;I think in time they will both get better.

THE MOCO&nbsp\\; SHOULD HAVE &nbsp\\; stayed with the old&nbsp\\; 5 speed...&nbsp\\;
Way&nbsp\\; better&nbsp\\; tranny&nbsp\\; to get into "n" and a&nbsp\\; softer&nbsp\\;tranny all around.&nbsp\\;&nbsp\\;
&nbsp\\;
My 07&nbsp\\; RG&nbsp\\; with&nbsp\\; 5200&nbsp\\; is&nbsp\\; still a bitch&nbsp\\; to get into "N".
Glad I still have&nbsp\\; my 03&nbsp\\; Ultra&nbsp\\;&nbsp\\; 5 speed!
