My 03 pointy SV won't find neutral when it's running. I can get neutral by letting the clutch out till it stalls and as it stalls it will find neutral. I noticed it do it when I went for a ride a couple of weeks ago, and today was doing it all the time. It's running fine and finding all other gears while riding absolutely fine, changing up or down. But when I'm stopped the only way I can get neutral is by stalling it and as I stall it will click into neutral if I'm putting pressure on the gear selector. It doesn't affect my riding much but it is a little bit annoying when I stop be it at a petrol station or a lay by etc etc...

Any ideas as to why it would do this and what could be wrong?

I did replace the gear selector last year after I snapped it when I dropped the bike, but up until now have not had any problems so I'm not sure if that is relevant or not!
