I'm surprised the dealer at Strokers didn't tell you about the side-stand kill switch? My sales rep there (Allen) told me about it when I bought mine, so the first time it acted up I pulled it off my bike.
PS - The only other trouble I think you might run into is apparently RE's have a long 3rd - 4th shift. Since it's a different travel distance than the other gears you might find yourself slipping it into neutral often at these gears. Don't stomp the shifter, stay calm, and apply a firm shift with your foot before letting off the lever.
