My FZR is pretty lousy for this as well. I've learnt through bitter experiece to go through the gears when slowing for lights. Of course, I still don't know EXACTLY what gear I'm in from the revs so I'm still finding myself talking the gears through in my head (5th, 4th, 3rd, 2nd - push the lever down just a bit - and 'click' it goes into neutral easily).
I just did an oil change a couple of weeks ago - put in Advance SX on the recommendation of Maidstone Yamaha here in Upper Hutt. The bike is much better through the gears both up and down now (no false neutrals) but I'm not too sure if its helped the neutral thing from a stop.
Good luck !
And I to my motorcycle parked like the soul of the junkyard. Restored, a bicycle fleshed with power, and tore off. Up Highway 106 continually drunk on the wind in my mouth. Wringing the handlebar for speed, wild to be wreckage forever.
