Difficulty finding neutral

When slowing to a stop, I have difficulty finding nuetral on my S1. Often end up standing at the lights in 1st or 2nd holding the clutch in -not good I know.

When I hit the kill switch I can easily rock the bike back into neutral, and any speed over 10 k's per hour, it's easy to find neutral. What's this a symptom of?

cheers

there is a bit in Scootering Nº303 September page 104 which explains it.

Yes, I had that problem, adjusting the clutch cured it.
