From the way he talks, I think what he found was the false neutral. I'm going to take her for a ride tomorrow and see how she acts when shifting between 5th & 6th. I know I've found a false neutral a few times between 5th and 6th. According to folks on svrider, my year/model is prone to have a false neutral. Other than that, the front brake will stop on a damn dime now and the tires are most awesome! Oh yeah...anyone have one of those handy dandy sweat bands they can let go of so I can put it around my new reservoir?

One other thing, what should I be noticing or looking for to know if the clutch is starting to have issues?

How many miles are on your SV Steph? I'm in the far end of the 25k neighborhood and the only issues I've had was that the clutch cable stretched and gave me issues like would happen when the clutch goes bad (it eventually broke which took care of that problem ). New cable and the switch to semi-synthetic oil seem to have eliminated the problems.

If you're not clutching wheelies all the time, or pulling dragstrip launches, I haven't heard of many problems.

I"m sure it's just he was soft shifting it after talking with Rogue last night. He was only feeling it when he was shifting, not after it engaged and was pulling.
