At the suggestions of others here, switched to Redline (and synth in the engine/primary) at my 1k service and I would say it's 99% easier now to shift into neutral. Before I was doing like you and shutting it down. Or using my hand like Cap'n Pete.
Before the fluid change I noticed that I would have more luck if I pulled up and sorta into the case rather than just up. I know that sounds stupid but.
My .02 (that and 98 more cents might get you a half decent cup-a-Joe)
Oh, this is off subject but I am doing away with the heel shifter. Went to get on while it was running and put it into 2nd. Not fun. Plus my foot seems cramped with it while riding. And I only wear a size 10 boot.
