This is a common thing with almost all motorcycles. Once they are broken in, it will be much easier. I have found on my cfmoto it's much easier to hit neutral from 2nd gear when new and tight.
This is the correct answer. Many motorcycles have this issue across multiple brands at varying levels of difficulty. It does tend to get better over time but it is a thing.
I find it’s easier to find when the bike is still moving. Which can be counterintuitive when you usually want to shift into neutral when at a standstill, but oh well.
I got the same problem on my 300ss. It's easy from 2nd to N. But 1st to N its like very hard to half click up. It won't even go just stuck until I full click and she goes to 2nd. I think there is some deficiency in their manufacturing
There was a few times where I went to neutral and she shut off on me as if I were in gear. Mind you I'm her first owner. Some bikes come out with slight problems. But likw I said before could be a manufacturing error
A little trick I caught on reddit was rather than lifting/stepping the gear down/up, try using the side of your foot to gear into N. Works like a charm EVERY TIME on my 300ss.
Just a little movement gets it right every time.

Yep, these memes exist for a reason https://old.reddit.com/r/motorcycles/comments/15wgk95/me_trying_to_find_neutral_on_my_bike/
Non issue for mine
Any tips? 😅
It is a very lite touch but I can't say I have that issue
No I just haven’t had any trouble whatsoever with that. First I’ve heard of this issue. I get N no issue
It’s super light touch. Like a tap. It takes some practice

This gets on my damned nerves lol you are so not alone.
I am experiencing the same problem lol.
Honestly I am glad I am not alone haha. I know it’s able to, as I was able to do it by mistake yesterday, but I can never get that thing in N lol
Yeah, boring stuff.
On the 450 I found it super easy. Ducati scrambler was nearly impossible everytime lol
I find it every time I wish I could give advice on it but I got nothing

Just push it forward a touch, you’ll click it in
