That will have to wait a few months also, lol. But I will try that next time I get on it. But is that indicative of something that may need addressed anyway??

I had a hell of a time finding neutral when I first got my ultra, My wide glide slid right in. Like you I adjusted the clutch checked everything out nothing wrong. Then one day I realized if I just raise the RPMS a little when going into neutral it would slide right in. Now I don't even think about it. Just habit now..

My 09 Heritage was hard to get into neutral. I changed to the SE compensator but I also took out the Mobil I 20-50 in the primary & M1 75-90 gear lube in the tranny. I switched to Rotella T 15-40 in the primary & Spectro 75-140 6 speed gear oil in the tranny & it slips into neutral so easily now it's hard to believe. And the first gear clunk is non existent if I wait 2 seconds after pulling the clutch. If I shift right away it's half of what it used to be.

This is a common problem I had the same issue on my 11 Wide Glide,after I changed the primary oil to Amsoil 20/50 it became much easier to find neutral.I have Red Line in the Street Glide and finding neutral is a piece of cake.But I will be returning to Amsoil next service.

That works best for me. It also is a little easier if you can shift just before the bike stops rolling. Beyond that, the clutch pack itself may need to be adjusted.

I have a brand new 2013 RKC with the exact same problems. I took the heel shifter off and only toe shift. But I did by an extended shifter cause of my size 12's, I may go back to heel/toe shifting. I was thinking of going to HD Syn3 at the 1000 mile service, any thoughts on that? Might it help?
