i've got the same question too and found out it is not the case for the 1st question,

u can go to neatural, however it's harder than when ur at idle

because there are things that will affect ur use of force on ur left foot, i sometimes have to try few times before i can go from 6th to neatural to roll to work getting in from hwy into a service road.

it does work, just feels like it's more sensitive that's all i find

the positive neutral finder will ensure u get into neutral while not moving, but as rossi said, it doesn't work the other way, unless ur movin really, really slowly. u just gotta be careful and concentrate on ur gear changes.

however, where you changin between 1st and second?
if not, u could have found a false neutral

well..there is neutral...and neutral

the neutral you want... is when you come to a stop
(and its between 1st and 2nd and Kwaka puts a
neutral finder on our bikes to help us riders)
and
the neutral you DON'T want is between any other gears
...aka a 'false' neutral
and that comes from poor chain adjustment bad clutch adjustment
dirty oil or rider inattention

so which one is it??? :wink:

just be more positive on your changes from 1st to 2nd and it shouldnt happen again, i still get them occasionally when i am being sloppy with the gear change
