I think you've hit it... I'm pretty sure my mechanics for quickly shifting up/down isn't good enough (or doesn't match the 300 well). I think I'm trying to force myself to be faster with shifts rather than smoother. I'll keep this in mind and build that muscle memory before trying shift quicker.

This aside, the bike's been a blast and I'm absolutely addicted to riding.
