And I’ve now found the classic neutral difficult to find issue.

I’ll re-bleed tomorrow again and see What difference that makes.
Presume your bike is a dry clutch?

If so clutch pack thickness makes a big difference in clutch engagement/disengagement - I find that a slightly thinner pack means I can find neutral at idle much better than the recommended 38mm total pack thickness.

This is something that is more noticeable when you fit Oberon (or similar) slave cylinders for a lighter clutch.

The good news is that as it wears, it gets better...
