Default Nuetral finder

Hey Guys,

I rode an RSV on Friday and really liked it but was told before I left for the ride that there was a new piece installed in the gearbox after 10k and that Neutral was going to be a little hard to find which certainly turned out to be the case. Now I am of the thought process that when you fix a problem it should go away. When the dealership called me to follow up I was told by the sales person that this things take some time to work themselves in and after a while it would start clicking like it should. The people at this dealership are wonderful to me and I enjoy going there but I did mention that if I try to deal on the 04 Mille that would have to be fixed which he insured me it was. Have any of you heard of or had this happen to your Aprillia's?

Thanks

.... almost 6 months late to the party, but whatever.


For some reason, the gearboxes on these things are impeccable, but neutral is always a little tricky to find...

It's a lot easier to get it into N by clicking down from 2nd gear instead of up from 1st. Just the nature of the beast, that's all.
