The bike has 700 miles on it and every time I'm coasting to a stop I would downshift from 3rd to 2nd and try to lightly depress the shifter into neutral but when I do it too light it grinds a little, when I do it a tad harder it drops into first. From experience, do you have to break it in more or what? Also when at a stop and trying to get it from first to neutral it would go into second then it would go to neutral. Thanks.

Give it time.
2nd...............stay in gear when at a stop light so you can do a quick get away if something should happen and you need to move quickly! The clutch is not that hard to hold for a min. or so.
