I had trouble finding neutral when the bike was new. After a few thousand miles it became much easier. Two weeks ago, with 54,000 miles on the bike, I had my primary chain and adjuster assy replaced. Now I have trouble finding neutral. I'll give it a few thousand miles and probably find that finding neutral is easy again. I use HD Formula+.

Baker 6 speed direct drive will solve the problem.

I too sometimes blow right by it and other times it slips right in. Its a lot different than my Yamaha Road Star Silverado. Advice given earlier about trying to drop it in from second before you stop is probably the easiest way to find it. Once stopped, you have to fiddle with it to get it there.

Change to Red Line or Bel-Ray oil in the tranny.... and replace that crappy stock linkage with some Heim Joints.
