My 300ex is very difficult to get into Neutral. Sometimes I have to just turn the bike off and then I am able to get Neutral.
What do I need to adjust to fix this problem?

Try adjusting or replacing (if needed) the clutch or maybe even changing the oil if it has been a while. I use to have the same problem till I put the new clutch in.

Try adjusting the clutch cable first. I know on mine if the freeplay isn't set right I have a hard time finding neutral.

try not being a pansy and just put it nuetral

let out on the clutch just befor it grabs or rev the engine

try riding a predator and find nuetral then wine about not finding nuetral on your 300.

check to see if the reverse lever on the side of the engine case looks bent..somehow mine got bent a little and was putting a bind on the internals....i replaced it and my 300 started goin into neutral like it was new...kinda weird, but it worked

it took me a little while how to find nuetral. Its also easier if you are coasting to a stop with the clutch pulled in to find it.
