I fitted a new clutch last year seems to have made it a bit easier. Bought it from WWW.biketorqueracing.co.uk

Thanks Tony, I have started to get used to it. I struggle mostly in town riding or when unable to select neutral. Such a contrast from my triumph street ripple which has a clutch so light that a little finger is all you need! Cheers

It sometimes helps if you blip the throttle.failing that if your in town and have a wait just hit the kill switch and it goes in like butter 😆

I always found tapping the lever down from second to neutral was easier than up from first, but it's much easier either way with a hydraulic clutch conversion.

Thanks Tony. All these tips help. I am certainly becoming better at it. I also lightly lubricated the clutch cable which has made it a little less heavy.

I shall try this one too! My bike is reverse geared so it will be gentle tap up from 2nd I guess.

With regard to getting neutral....
Had my 900 for 10 yrs and like most had to adapt to get neutral by selecting whilst rolling.
However, after joining the craner club at donington earlier this year I had to replace the peg assembly and levers with a low miles second hand set from Ebay.
Low and behold, neutral can now be found just like any normal bike...

Didnt do anything else, other than make sure everything was properly lubricated (always the best way...) . Only other thought us that is adjusted so the gear lever is very slightly higher than before, maybe changing the angle that pressure is applied by the size 11s...?
Had intended to adjust but easily adapted too and nice to get neutral again !

Its funny you guys mention the hydraulic clutch on the RSV i have a Tuono Factory V2 and the hydraulic clutch on that is rock hard adjustable levers helps so your not splaying your hand as far to pull it in
