Is anybody having issues with the 300? We've been having problems with the bike dropping back a gear, 5th to 4th, 6th to 5th ETC and sometimes just hitting a false neutral under heavy braking, backshifting. It doesn't happen to every rider all the time, but it happens enough to concern me. Suggestions? I'd like to have the transmission checked, maybe undercut if the gears are just worn.

Fresh oil change before ECR, and I only run Amsoil. So I don't think so. Changed it again before GSS this weekend and it did it again.
Check your chain tension, it will mess with false neutrals and mis shifting.

Get out of the cult just long enough to test another oil. My personal favorite is Rotella T.
Guess this didn't get fixed from 250 to 300.
The internal shifter mechanism did change and there are some options for improving it, wish the 250's had the same shifter set-up.
Check this out Kasey, it may help.

Awesome! Ill have my mechanic look at this. Thanks!
Not good... should be a recall on this like brakes and ECU...
I was reading the fine writing on that part link... did you need to replace the clutch cover and basket when installing this "fix" like it says?

Great... thanks Brad.
