I think you’re confused about what false neutral means.

also they have made it equally impossible to hit N intentionally.....
Suzuki did the same thing.

Rode my dads 2020 RMZ450 and it was by far the longest and hardest time I’ve ever had trying to find neutral.

My CT70H is four down. Pure comedy when I rode it the first time. And pretty much every time after, first time through the gears, too.
