Reading Ur post and not really understanding them, I'd have the dealer just pick up the bike and go over it again and fix it.

Who pays for prep anymore. I would just adjust it yourself. Then you are not down any riding time.

Yeah, I agree. Why all the grief here? It's under warranty, take it back and tell them to fix it. Done deal.

Your clutch is dragging bad. Just go to the dealer. If it does this all the time they will have no problem diagnosing. It is the intermittent problems that are difficult.

Don't wait 'til stopped to try to find neutral... When gearing down to a stop, a little half shift down after 2nd will find it for you every time.

I took the bike into the dealer on Saturday and sure enough the clutch just needed adjustment. All is good now.
