To me the finding neutral problem seems to be heat related more that anything. When I work my hawk hard it gets contrary about going into neutral.
Maybe an oil cooler helps with this?

OK, sorry again but I think that this bike would be well served by progressive rate front springs but I don't know if any are available.

Thanks again!
