hey guys, since i got my 05 450r ive noticed that i have been mishifting quite a bit. i only rode it on dirt once while breaking it in but i just took a ride and it happened twice within 10 minutes. what happens is i will be riding , shift up give it some pretty good gas and it will "pop" out of gear into a nuetral type spot and rev real high. It scared the crap out of me at first and its kind of annoying. im coming from a 400ex so im thinking i still need to get used to the 450 gear style. do i have to kick up on the shifter harder so it fully engages or is this something wrong. I run the red bottle tranny oil and raised my shifter 1 click for boots and it still did it. Should i just work on kicking the shifter harder because im getting ready for the spring so i can head to the track and it seems like its going to happen while riding/racing and that would be a pain. Anyone else ever have this happen and what was your solution, thanks
btw ive been riding for a few years and i know how to shift, it just seems like i might need to get used to it and shift harder, anyone notice this when they switched from 400 to 450
