tonight i went for a spirited ride, and i was riding wide open and clutchless shifting at redline into the next gear...hit second right on the money, went to hit third and the bike just went into neutral...i think it was third...i coulda been going 3-4 i dont remember....but it went into neutral
so i kicked it up again to get it into gear, expecting it to be in 3rd or 4th, but i guess it went to second....the back end started sliding back and forth real violently for a split second until i got the clutch back in and corrected....from there i pulled over, gathered myself for a second, and continued on my ride...this is the second time ive had an issue with going into neutral while slamming gears like that
do you think its rider error due to me maybe not hitting my shifts hard enough without the clutch or do you think its an issue with the bike?

but im not really sure what im looking at in that thread or if thats even my problem....all i know is, i was doing about 80 and almost got put on my ass and it sucked....
