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 LOL

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.
