Yup and it is damn annoying when it happens. Bounces off the rev limiter, I can feel the shifter skipping around...like it is bouncing off the gears. Makes me sick to my stomach everytime it has happened. Which I could probably count on one hand in 28k miles.

I haven't had that happen on either of my Tenere's as yet. I guess I shift them very positively when going thru the gears. What year of bike do you have that this is happening on? Mileage? and what oil are you using?

I found one on the way down (6th to 5th) once but it was my fault as I was being lazy. No problems on the way up.

'12...30K...Rotella... It's probably only happened five or six times, and always when we're gettin it; but like E4R sez, it makes you sick to your stomach.

Hmmm.... I have hit regular neutral a couple of times doing the same thing, but nothing between gears on my 2012. Same oil and close on mileage.
