It'll get easier with time. Try Redline in the primary and tranny. It'll make out much easier to get into neutral.

 

600 miles on My Limited switched to Redline primary oil and Redline gearoil in the tranny seemed to help mine.

 

Absolutely! However, I found that the Syn3 at my first oil change was like the stock dino oil as far as finding neutral was concerned.

When I switched to Amzoil synthetic, shifting became much more positive and neutral is now MUCH easier to find.

 

That's what I use my heel shifter for. A little tap with my heel seems to find it much easier than using my toe. Just me.

 

Some folks say it gets better after you put some miles on your bike, others suggest changing the oil in the tranny. I think it's just a matter of getting used to your new scooter.

May not be related but I would rather have a little trouble finding neutral than trying to shift into second and hitting neutral instead.

 

I had same problem with my new Road Glide. Three things:

1) It got progressively better with miles.
2) I read here that it is easier to find N while still rolling to a stop (works!)
3) It got a TON better when I got the 1000 mile service with synthetic. If I had to guess, I would say they adjusted something??

Almost a non-issue now.

I found letting the clutch out a little and allowing the bike to move slightly then pull in the clutch and then push up on the shifter, it seems find neutral naturally. Almost as though you loosened up the transmission a bit.

Nice bike.

 

Syn seems to work with both my Harleys. Nuetral has never been a problem.
Let's see that new bike!

 

Get used to it
