I've had this issue on my xb12scg! And then you rev it super hard. I just assumed I wasn't kicking it up hard enough or something.

Same issue here (xb12r). Especially if i rap out first gear. Adjusting my clutch and shifting harder has seem to solve my problem.

Same here, Really makes me laugh though at how stupid I look, or how people must think I am trying to show off. 0-40, then loud revving... awesome dude.

Adjust your clutch and primary

Just picked up my 04 xb12s and didn't notice how often this happens until the next day. Did anyone else have success after adjusting the clutch and primary? Hoping to not have a huge problem on my hands right after buying this bike.

Check the most basic things first. Start by looking at your foot position, adjust the positioning of your foot so that you are able to apply the optimal amount of pressure in order to up-shift.

Adjusting my clutch and shifting harder has seem to solve my problem.

Also, make sure to adjust all clutch adjustments: Lever, Cable, & Primary
