I am on an 04 hrc equiped 450. I was riding yesterday doing some small sand hill climbs on a local riding area. I was running up a smaller hill in 2nd gear about half way up it jumped out of gear. I never seen that before. I have warrenty till 08 so I am going to call about dropping it off tomorrow. Just curious if anyone else seen this.

A friend thinks its just the tranny fluid. It is time to change it. I been anal about it oil changes on this R. every 10 hours I do both sides. have about 300+ hours on stock piston. and clutch.

My '04 will do that once in a while. I don't think much of it.

and i have lots of hours on it. I never had it do this before. I have seen it not go into 2nd fully before and pop right out. I was in 2nd pulling up near the limiter going up that sand hill then boom I was bouncing off the limiter and started to roll back down the hill.

If I haven't done all these hills so many times before I would hit one of the small trees I had to stear around going up. Going backwarks on the brakes was tough but I did it ok.
