should i be able to select neutral instead of second on a down change? has only happened once when i was down shifting at slow speed, however i seem to keep selecting neutrak instead of second on the upshift. this only happens if im being a bit to gentle and sloppy but it happens at all speeds if i dont shift sharply into second it will pick neutral and free rev, the bike in question is a gpx250r 1992 has done a bit over 60000k, could something in the box be faulty or do i have to stop being picky and just put up with it?

Sounds about right. Be more direct and deliberate in your changes and all should be good.In complete darkness we are all the same. It is only our knowledge and wisdom that seperate us. Dont let your eyes deceive you.
Its the little things that make the difference

So are you getting a nuetral when going from third down to second ?
False nuetrals do exist and it's usually either flogged out shifting bits in your box or the rider not being positive enough on the gear change. Usually the latter.
As Aphex says, this would mostly be the cause of you missing the upshift and selecting nuetral instead of second as well.CAUTION: ATTEMPTING TO OVERTAKE THIS VEHICLE MAY RESULT IN A HIGH SPEED WHEELIE

it is probably just your lazy foot.. as you have said.. be more firm with your gear changes..
if you have a link rod (cant remember on the gpx1/4L) then adjust it a bit to lower the selector lever..

Maybe adjust your lever a tad lower so you can apply better upward force etc to get a more positive gear change action... Just a though.

I give it a good forceful click, make sure I can feel it. If I'm actually aiming for neutral as I downshift I do it very gently, but generally speaking a fair bit of force to change gears and it clicks through nicely.Dual sport riders do it in the dirt

No more force needed, just hold the lever pressure until you feel it click into gear, while you let the clutch out.“Crashing is shit for you, shit for the bike, shit for the mechanics and shit for the set-up,” Checa told me a while back. “It’s a signal that you are heading in the wrong direction. You want to win but crashing is the opposite. It’s like being in France when you want to go to England and when you crash you go to Spain. That way you’ll never get to England!” -- Carlos Checa
