That is one good looking bike! Love the red. If you have a difficult time finding neutral you probably have some air in the lines. Bleeding it is the final step in the process and once done properly you'll have a tranny that shifts like a Japanese bike. On my ST4 with Yoyodyne slave I can go through the gears, into and out of and back into neutral, all while at a complete stop. But it took me several attempts at bleeding before I got there. It's worth it.

You need to get every little bubble out of the lines, and the slave, and the master, and the banjo fitting.

Thanks! I know it's nowhere near as clean as your bike Dan! When the sun hits that red slave, it's like, Whoa!

We installed everthing on Sunday, bled it, etc, and I rode home. On Monday, I rode back to my friend's house, and we bled the clutch again. We got a few bubbles out on Monday, but not alot. I'll probably ride it a little, and then we'll try bleeding it again. Worst case, I'm getting my forks done at BCM in a couple of weeks, so if it's not sorted then, I'll get them to check it out.
