Default Keep catching neutral on '02 RK

So, new to the world of Harley's and I bought a used '02 RK w/ 16k and have put almost 2k on it.&nbsp\\; Recently, I've begun to notice that I catch neutral frequently while upshifting from 1st to 2nd.&nbsp\\; I've tried both toe shifting and heel shifting thinking that I'm not hitting the shifter hard enough I've also tried that and it hasn't made a difference.&nbsp\\; It is quite annoying finding myself in neutral when I would much rather be speeding up.

any ideas?

Thanks, was thinking of changing all fluids out anyway, based on that very fact.&nbsp\\; Even though the dealer stated the oil was changed recently.&nbsp\\; Was thinking of going with all Redline.&nbsp\\; Is this a good deal?&nbsp\\; http://www.racerpartswholesale.com/p...Oil_Powerpacks
