Re: Neautral Problem.
About the best you can do is to clean up and lubricate the linkages.Then give the clutch a bleed through with clean fluid.

Wrong thread...
I can't seem to win the lottery. I think I have used up all of my good luck riding motorcycles.

Re: Neautral Problem.
Sometimes air gets trapped in the banjo coupling at the master cylinder. I usually wrap a rag around it , crack open the coupling and squeeze the lever, hold it at the bottom of the pull and re-tighten the fitting.
Be careful to cover the paintwork well, brake/clutch fluid destroys paintwork.

Re: Neautral Problem.
Messy, but it works. With flat bars, I usually tilt the bars hard right, with the bike held vertical, so the banjo fitting is lower than the master cylinder, then operate the lever - slow pull, hold, then snap back, repeat. If you have pull-back bars, you probably have to loosen the MC mount and slide it up the curve of the bar to get it tilted that way. It takes a bit longer than Lechy's method, but cleanup is easier.
