Has anyone ever had a problem where the bike (after dropped into first gear) doesnt want to go into neutral. Not like an I force it and it doesnt go but like a feeling that you pull up on the shifter and it feels light and doesnt feel like its shifting gears and it wont go into neutral. I hope I explained this properly...If not feel free to post about it. This has only happened 2 times but it was after normal driving. what is the problem??

was the bike at a standstill or moving?
it could be hard to engage/disengae from first somtimes while the bike is stopped, but if it's rolling, it should eventually go in.

when it doesnt shift let the clutch out a lil maybe around the friction zone and then shift it works for me

First gear on bikes a synchronized as well as reverse is on a car... it's not. You have to catch it just right to get in or out of first while you're not moving. Like Way2Cool said... ease out on the clutch and move the bike a little and you'll find the sweet spot you need.
