When my chain was recently tightened, i had a bit of troulbe getting into neutral. I've ridden it quite a bit since then, the chain has stretched a little more and now I find neutral easily. I was also getting a falsie in between 5th and 6th, but that has gone also.

If you can drain some of the oil, do - it shouldnt be overfilled, but if your SV is like my SV, then it certainly behaves better when the oil level is more than half (about 3/4s full)

Adjust the clutch at the worm drive; cable adjustment adjusts the slack, but overall the same amount of push-rod travel occurs.
