your oil level may be too high. how did you check it ?
WHEN are you finding it hard to find neutral?
While stopped at a set of lights and you want to rest your clutch hand so try to kick it up from 1st to Neutral?
While pulling into your lo-o-o-ong driveway and giving a slight downward tap from 2nd to try to hit neutral so you can coast the rest of the way?
After pulling up in first and trying to get into neutral Before putting your stand down?
After pulling up and lowering your stand while still in gear. When you come back to the bike and want to start it neutral is hard to find?
My first thought was... oil level. How is it, how do you check it?

Not to pick on you but it's little hard to read your post... You should try using 'space bar' more frequently :thumb:
about the neutral issue:
- How long have you been riding?
I am asking that, because when I got my bike I thought it was hard to find neutral either, but it was because of my lack of experience.
With some time and more practice I have learnt that you have to be very gentle with the shifter in order to find neutral.
- Also, I 'heard' that oil may have something to do with shifting, but I am not sure about this one. (Although I know that you should NEVER use oil with friction modifiers to prevent clutch slipping)
good luck

Looks like he's new to using a keyboard, too.

i asked how you checked your oil level to make sure you weren't about to blow the engine... or worse, cause an accident. too little oil (and improper checking) can lock your engine, and rear wheel causing a nasty crash. too much can cause you to be hit from behind at an intersection if you have troulbe getting into 1st gear.
get it fingered out and post an update :)
