Question

Answer
Aaron,
It never hurts to make sure your clutch fluid reservoir is properly filled.  Though my guess would be that our clutch is simply not fully disengaging when shifted into neutral, or potentially something is loose and is rattling around in the clutch housing.  If your clutch has around 160km on it, you may want to consider getting it replaced anyway.  Inspection of the slave clutch cylinder, shift fork, and pivot ball should be done when the clutch assembly is replaced.
Good luck!
