Hi,
I've had many bikes over the years, all were In line 4s, spent the last 8 years racing and maintaining one, but Always wanted a big twin. So I've taken the plunge, just got myself a RSV factory R road bike. I Love it, however one niggle, I can't find neutral when coming to a stop, an the clutch seems very heavy (brembo cylinder) I'd really appreciate any tips, pointers that you guys would offer me in the way of care, maintenance, servicing and recommended upgrades Simon |

Both traits of Italian bikes. Just bought my Tuono recently, but its just like various Ducatis I have owned in that respect, anyway they are minor niggles

You can get an upgrade clutch slave cylinder from companies like Oberon that make it a little lighter and a clutch jet mod that can make finding neutral easier, works on some not others, Aprilia performance sell both. The numbers at the top of the home page.

Sometimes a rolling neutral works, flick the gear lever before coming to a stop.
