I have diagnosed my "can't find neutral while bike is running" problem ( http://www.valkyrieforum.com/bbs/index.php/topic,57897.0.html) .   With Danial Meyer's advice, I started with the simple stuff.

I removed the clutch lever and checked the bushings, looked good. 

Remove the clutch master cylinder reservoir lid, it's a little low, add a little fluid, squeeze the lever a few times and Jabba says, "you have stuff leaking out under your bike"...  We start looking and it's "clutch fluid".  So we clean up the mess, wipe everything off.  We decide to bleed the clutch.  I'm working the bleeder valve, Jabba working the clutch and adding fluid.  We pump some fluid through the slave cylinder.  Jabba say "Wow the clutch got better".  Put the lid on the master cylinder, I start the bike and the clutch is working good.  Goes in and out of gear, no creeping, ect...   Check underneath a little fluid coming out the weep hole.   Wipe it off go for a ride, works like it's suppose to.  Get back and the clutch cover has a little fluid on it.  wipe it off check level in reservoir, seems to not have changed....  I ride it again.  get back clutch cover has fluid on it again. 

It seems to have a leaking Clutch Slave Cylinder.  I rode a tank through it yesterday and every time I parked it, I checked under it and the clutch cover is barely wet with "clutch fluid".

New Clutch Slave Cylinder is ordered......

Be careful with brake fluid, it's some nasty stuff.
