I am wanting to examine my clutch,bought the bike in summer and the gear selection is good but neutral position is a pain.switch the ignition on and off goes in straight away.
Do i bother to look or leave it ?
I do feel slight grabbing sensation on the clutch lever. i was wondering if.
If the fingers on the basket are worn a bit and allowing restriction in the plates movement.
So if i find this is the case,i could file the fingers flat and allow plate movement.
What else could i check,that may cause an neutral selection.
Thanks for any help

Live with it.
If you start looking at the clutch, you'll find everything is worn.
You'll soon get the hang of always finding neutral whilst still rolling. Works for me anyway.

Dunno about wear induced problems But I did find that Using Yamalube in My trans made finding Neutral increasingly difficult getting progressively worse, even impossible, as the engine/trans heated up.
Refilled with GL4 gear oil (75/85?) And the problem Instantly vanished.
Maybe your solution? Maybe not? But fairly simple even as experiment.

Mine slips into neutral no probs, running it on rock oil 10/40 mineral oil and filed the clutch basket when I built the motor

have a search for the shift star mod if you want to find neutral easier.

Unless it's really bad I'd just live with it.
I've tried every oil over the years and none have made the slightest difference to the common neutral selection issue in the LC and YPVS engines.
Once you get used to it, you should easily be able to tap into neutral from 2nd just before you stop moving. If you miss it, then with a blip of the throttle and as the revs drop, you should be able to get it into neutral on the first 1st or 2nd attempt.
The last person I was with riding an LC who said it was impossible for them to get neutral unless the engine wasn't running, I jumped on their bike and demonstrated both the above and they were suitably impressed and have done the same ever since and agrees it's not really a problem anymore.

Hello,
Had the same problem with my RD350LC 82 changed to different types of oil but nothing helped. What I realized was that the steel plates inbetween the clutch plates were too thick they were 1.5mm and original should be 1.2mm. Put in original steel plates and problem was solved.
