Difficulty getting to neutral from first is pretty normal when the bike
is new, but after a few thousand miles it tends to get easier. There
seems to be some variation between bikes on this, though. For example, I
have 3,700 miles on my ST and still can't get neutral from first
reliably. Others have no problem what so ever.

However, it sounds like your clutch lever needs a bit of adjustment. I
think that's something the dealer does at your 500 mi. service.

Possible, but not likely, IMHO.
