True about the information this site offers, awesome glad I too stumbled across this site :mrgreen:
And the neutral thing, Bought my bike about 6 months ago and couldnt get it for like 3 of those months :whistle:
Being my first bike, stood at the robots with clutch in but came to realise with a little rev goes in totally fine :?

Mine was fine up until about 2 weeks ago, yet as everyone states here a blip helps it to slot in or slide her in while rolling. I have however noticed that when my bike is on the rear padock stand (with the engine running & in neutral) the rear wheel turns at a fair rate....
My gsxr1000, zx6r, TNT and Tuono never used to do this, could the clutch be fubared (yet it operates fine and doesn't slip at all) and causing this and making neutral hard to locate?

Correct me if i am wrong people BUT i am sure my rear wheel never used to turn when up on the padock stand, only since the rear wheel started to turn in neutral has it been cumbersome to knock into neutral when stationery
