I'm finding it pretty much impossible to get into Neutral when the engine is running... when it's not, I can get it in neutral no problem... any thoughts?  I've got an EVO Clutch Slave, Rizoma Rearsets, and EVO III clutch lever.  Are there adjustments to be made or does the bike just need to be broken in more?

[He Man]

sounds like theres air in your slave. try bleeding it.

also do u have the bigbore evo slave? People say the bigger one sometimes makes ith arder for you to find neautral.

The fork reflectors are bothering me, I'm just sayin

  they're on the list along with removing all the frame stickers and the toomuchmoney stickers.

Love those skins, looks awesome. 

I wish I could afford a new Monster, they are really starting to grow on me and the whole skins thing is sweet (though I could see them getting addicting).

LOVE those skins!

The new Monster is really starting to grow on me, especially in your first pic, I love that slim sexiness of the seat and cowl.  I just wish the sub-frame matched the trellis...

Anyone got tips on removing all the stickers and saving them?  (Frame stickers, Termi, etc)... don't want to lose the info, just want to lose the eyesore ;-)

Beautiful bike!   

Also, what camera did you use?

I carefully removed my frame stickers and relocated em to the subframe out of sight under the seat.

Not familiar with your levers, but I had similar issue right after I installed my Pazzo levers.  Try adjusting your clutch lever to its longest reach (making it a long grab) coz its possible that if its adjusted closer in towards the bars that theres not enough travel to fully disengage the clutch.

Skins look great BTW

I want to go on record against Termi sticker removal.

Goo Gone (not goof off) saturated on small area of wrag. Rub outside corner of sticker and let it soak for a minute or so. While this is going on put a hair dryer on it. Then lift a corner and peel. You can use the hair dryer as you peel if necessary. The stickers are hardy and not easily torn. I stuck mine to the outside of plastic bag my owner's manual came in.

Awesome.  Good luck with it.

Glad you finally got your bike home!

Of course, since it is a brand new bike, it may take a little while for the clutch to break in and neutral (while running at a stop) may not be the easiest to find.

Would I bother messing with anything other than lever pull settings at this point?... NO.

This is because your installing the EVR slipper clutch, and it wouldn't make sense to perform these adjustments for the stock clutch if your not going to be using it anyway.

Just my two cents..

[Raux]

could the play on the clutch level be an issue? or even some air in the clutch line?

is it only neutral or are you feeling a hard lurch when shifting with the clutch is pulled in?
