Has it allways done this? has it got progressively worse?

Its not a good thing, start looking for a new gearbox/engine.. if its allways done it (allthough it shouldn't) and its only a random every so often then try to ignore it...

Make sure you are taking your foot comletely off the gear lever before trying to change into the next gear. If you are changing gear rapidly and don't allow the lever to return fully to the 'rest' position between times, the next gear may not engage properly.

My car does this.
Means its fooked, serious mechanical repair time i'm afraid (probably terminal for my car)

My bike was having the same problem two weeks ago. After that it started to jump into neutral more often... even while taking a bend which was quite scary. Then it started to leak petrol. Mechanic says the 2nd gear went bad so you might have the same problem.

All this doom and gloom. Just to let you know that it may not be all that bad. My bike has done it since I got it. Usually it seems to be lazy foot syndrome, but it is an awkward gearbox. I have ridden other VFRs and they don't do it as easily.

Anyway, mine is still going after 48K so I wouldn't worry too much. If it gets worse, then get a mechanic, otherwise, practice getting it right. As Stinkwheel said, a positive foot movement helps no end.

I know this problem. I have the 2004 RS125 (I think thats what you have to going by your avatar). It only happened to me when i was wearing my racing boots and couldn't feel the gear selector properly or when i just didn't knock it into the next gear properly. I don't think it's a problem with my bike, more a problem with my boots. I went and got a pair of gortex ankle boots from Hein Gericke and they are great for the bike. I have never had the problem when wearing my ankle boots because i can feel what i am doing a lot better.
