Re: Jumping out of 2nd back to neutral.
 

Does it on mine sometimes (2009, 4k miles) unless you smash the granny out of the shifter to put it into 2nd.

Re: Jumping out of 2nd back to neutral.
 

I'd advise you to actually look at how a gearbox works and realise that banging anyones granny will not make 2 pieces of steel slide into place if it bends the selector forks...

Yep try adjusting your gear rod lever down slightly 4mm/5mm with your riding boots on work for mine ok...........

Hope this helps:
Since our change of detent arm, star and spring from stock set up to this:

http://www.factorypro.com/products/F...Pro_shift.html

we have had very few false neutrals across 1st - neutral to 2nd and up and down the box. Prior to this upgrade, two false gears at high revs cost us one serious accident and one possible race win. If the bike is 2004 or older it could be a good investment to fit one but dont expect change from £200. It would definitely sharpen up all gear changing though. There are other things it could be as has been said. Position of lever to foot, gear shift link arm to gear shift rod position (should be at 90degrees), set up of clutch adjustment, bent push rod, poor lubrication. Rider errors ? but you seem to have had it a while....................

Re: Jumping out of 2nd back to neutral.
 

mine does it sometimes if i go from first to second without clutch, even if im not giving it some death. i can ride gently and go for 2nd with no clutch, it'll go into gear no problem, and wont jump out of gear till i pin it wide open. bit ierd really but i just ride round the problem :) if i use the clutch into 2nd its fine. :)

retro fit parts from k5> bike is cheaper.

Re: Jumping out of 2nd back to neutral.
 

Mine (K5) has jumped out a couple of times - in 18 months of having the bike - because I didn't move the foot lever all the way up... usually no matter how high the revs and no matter if I clutchless up change or not, it slips in nicely so long it's firm (awats smutty comments).

awaits smutty comments? why would there be?

Re: Jumping out of 2nd back to neutral.
 

So long as his shaft is well lubricated

Tell that to Wayne Rooney.

Sarcasm detector not switched on, what I (obviously) meant was, make sure you shift fully.
