harder is incorrect. being abusive on the shifter will result in ****ed up shift drum arms. (these are different from the shift forks) but anyway, the problem is that you are not releasing the hold on the engine for long enough. that means that you are not snapping the throttle closed fast enough, or not leaving it closed for long enough, or using the clutch and not pushing the lever down all the way before reapplying power.
once you shift, hold the shift level down (or up... which ever direction you shifted) for a few seconds past the shift. if you let it up too quickly it can fall out, or if you let it up when you are going to fast with your throttle close/clutching you can only engage the gear partially and it will slip out next time the gears aren't pressing against each other (let off throttle)
note, don't hold the shift lever away from center position too long, just a second or two. count "one-one thousand, two-one thousand" there is a little spring in there that loses tension over time by moving the shift lever (this is what returns it to the center position) and i actually just lost that spring the other day because it lost enough tension to the point that the spring came off the arm.
