Shifting issues
Ok so I have had my Hyper for 8 months 3 oil changes later I still can't shift into neutral once the bike has warmed up. This is driving me absolutely nuts!!!!! I have had it in the shop to be fixed they say it is in working order and that there is nothing wrong.
Anyone got any ideas?

I had the same problem, it turned out that the clutch was not disengaging fully due to the adjustment on the clutch lever. I had it on the shortest travel. I dont know but its worth a try to put it on full travel and see.

I was also going to suggest a good clutch fluid bleed. Start at the master cylinder and then move to the slave cylinder.

another very good trick to get air out of the line is to zip-tie the lever to the handle bar over night so the air can move up the line and out the master.you can lightly tap the line with a screw driver to loosen any air bubles left in there
works every time!!!

I always forget to add that one. I do it every time and it does help.
