Seems more like the clutch being pulled and then released or the clutch pads overheated and slipping. I would look at the clutch pads.

Motorcycles don't have syncros and are sequential. They are dog engagement, and unless the shifter doesn't engage the dog fully, and/or the dogs have a.ton of wear, they don't really have a way of popping out.
