| While accelerating through gears at normal speed and power. i shifted into fourth gear and as i rolled on the throttle at approx 45 miles per hour. the transmission jumped out of 4th gear and down into third gear. this caused the rear wheel to lock up and skid. i was able to engage the clutch and prevent the motorcycle from sliding out. this has happened in the past and i have reported this to nhtsa. the dealership has been unable to recreate problem for service. i believe that this transmission is faulty and needs to be replaced. i have had several occurances of this jumping out of gear and am concerned about a potentially dangerous accident. dt | |||
