Does anybody else find it difficult to select neutral when the engine running? Seems fine with the engine not running

It helps if clutch is adjusted perfect but is a known trait on these...also make sure whatever is properly lubed and adjusted

Just blip the throttle a little and then try for neutral. Should slide right in.

It can be because the clutch is not slipping allowing the gear to be selected easily. This can be due to wear/distortion in the clutch or bad oil
