my 07 xr650l with about 10,500 miles was getting harder and harder to find neutral, put in new plates and springs at 7500 miles for the same reason, and solved problem, but 3000 miles later sos! so i tore the pos down tonight and found the clutch basket had some fairly deep notches wore where the plates drive against the basket. i removed the basket and filed it until the notches were smoothed out, put the olgirl back together,went for a ride and it works perfect.
