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.

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.

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.

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.
