False neutral between 5-6th gear.
 

Anyone experienced these. Happens on a gentle upshift, bike surges to redline than clunks hard into 5th.

Mines got 3000 miles on it. Feels like either neutral of slipping clutch but this is riding along at a sedate pace.

I've noticed on mine it made a difference if I was in tennis shoes or my riding boots. Seems like different shoes would shift a little different cause of "feel" and toe thickness ?????????????? I have also downshifted when I should be upshifting cause of distraction. But for the most part , gearbox does what it is suppose to if I do. I think firmness in shifting is what this gearbox needs . rj

Yeah this has only happened with really lazy gentle shifts usually going at a sedate pace.

Not to worried unless it starts happening a bunch.

My left mirror did fall off today in traffic, hopefully a new one arrives before I leave for the long road trip or I'll have to stick one of those round ones for car mirrors on there.

This happen to me on my vt600c and about every other bike in my stable and in my history
it is just a lazy shift be carfull and pop that shifter with a swift firm pull

I experienced this the other day on the freeway. I was under pretty heavy acceleration... I do think that I was trying to switch lanes and shift at the same time and may have just not *clicked* all the way into 6th...

I've got about 3000 miles on my roxie too. (10W-40 Synthetic, if it matters)

I had this happen too, went into 6th stayed for a second then dropped back to 5th. Thankfully I wasn't accelerating all that hard, just cruising but it did make my bike lurch pretty good. Hasn't done it since my oil change though..

This is exactly why I had to replace my entire engine at 200 miles.

My new engine shifts like a bag of shit and I no longer want the bike.

Sorry to hear you are having all these issues
Looks like you may have unfortunately got a lemon of the bunch
Hopefully CSC would be willing to exchange bike for a replacement one and send your bike back to Zongshen for dissection

I'm keeping the bike. I will not replace the next engine. A ship can do it. I'm not spending any more of my time on this bike.

Did it again today, this time was a little scary. On I-5 in heavy traffic on a bridge no less, dropped right out of 6th after an up shift under hard acceleration. Not happy about this transmission so far but I will give it some time for the break-in.

What does CSC believe it might be?

i have had fulse neutrals on a few bikes over the years..
every time it has been me just lazy shifting...
rider issue no the motor...

Is your shift lever tight on the shaft? While changing my oil yesterday I noticed that mine was loose.

Good call on the shift lever. I found mine loose last year and it was causing some sloppy shifts. Also, occasionally if I get distracted by something, I don't shift as firmly and sometimes get a false neutral. This has happened on each of my bikes, so definitely my issue in this case and not the RX3's.
