  I have not had any of those issues. I have my clutch in and the bike in gear and the bike has been running all day, never had that issue. Sorry can not help you.

After reading the below post I am running Kawasaki Synthetic oil in my bike.......

This is on a 2002 800 with ~6500 miles

If I have a properly adjusted cable, can't get into neutral without shutting off the engine.

If I take all the freeplay out of the cable and I can shift into neutral from first fine when the drivetrain is cold. But as it warms up it gets harder to downshift, and neutral again disappears.
If you sit at a stoplight in first, clutch pulled in, the bike will actually start to creep when warm.

So. are my clutch plates swelling up? The steels warped? I doubt this as there are no other symptoms. I've never had this happen on any of my 80 previous bikes. The clutch has plenty of grab and has never slipped regardless of adjustment.

I'm guessing a new set of plates is on the horizon. Is there a recommended set? Barnett? Stock?
