I agree it is easier to find neutral with the engine off.
how long does it take for it to brake in and find neutral with the engine running. |

I hear people say after brake in at 500 miles when they switch to synthetic oil. Ive also heard the kind of oil you use can make a big difference. What kind of oil are you using?

I used Quicksilver 20W50 Full Synthetic Motorcycle Oil after the first 100 miles. The oil I drained out had a nice metal flake to it. After I changed the oil I had no more problems shifting in neutral. The first time I ran the motor with the so called oil that came in it. I let it run for about 30 minutes to clean it out. Man that stuff was nasty. So wash, rinse, repeat. I will more than likely change it again this weekend to make sure I get it all out. I put over 200 mile on it over the weekend.

I think the neutral thing is just inherent with the small displacement engine. It can get worse or easy depending on wear. I find it really easy (shifting) after oil changes but can get stubborn at later times. I usually make a point to find neutral when coasting to a stop and I know I want to shut down. The 50 weight oil will probably help shifting but for those speed performance folks, i believe it will slow it down a tad (thicker oil=higher resistance in gear train). I may try it (50 weight) myself since I dumped the rest of my Rotella in my little case tractor.
Cudos on the miles jerry. That nasty look is the clutch plates degrading, normal wear which happens. Jerryhawk250...coming to a road near you!

I can tell you my bike absolutely would not ever go into neutral in the beginning, I switched to Honda GN4 Oil from the motorycle shop down the street and the bike shifts beautifully now.

I changed the oil before I started the bike for the first time then I did it again after the first 20 miles then at 120 Ill do it again at 500. At that stage you can go 1000 miles between changes. Some folks start using Synthetic oil at 500 miles. This is what I plan on doing.

Its true that that oil with additives gets into the plates and makes them slick so the clutch slips. You can use synthetic if its free of additives. Its best to only use oil rated for a wet clutch. After brake in I plan on using rotella synthetic.
