That the transmission is scary on these bikes. And not to tip in if I hear it cut out in a false neutral. I was thinking to get to the apex stand it up and add throttle to get it back in gear but it snapped back in gear while I was cranked over

It's no more on the way out than everyone elses, there isn't a single 300 on the grid over here that hasn't had a transmission problem on their bike at this point. I just got unlucky with the timing of it. There is a way to fix it but it costs a good bit of $$$ so I'll be doing that over the winter to prevent this for next season

Yeah, I'm just concerned that they would have a weak link that would be so easily found

I don't think you'll come across the issue riding it easily on the street with a 300. I don't know about the 250's.

Never heard about it on the 250 and even on the 300 it only comes out when your pace is pretty fast even for a track pace. It just doesn't like the strain of being ridden properly hard

I wouldn't say rarely, I get some kind of issue with it almost every lap at speed....but it pretty much never happens on the street or if I slow my pace considerably to be courteous to the track day riders
It just only pops out when pushed to extremes

^ It's probably worse on a bigger bike
personally I didn't actually care much after I realized I wasn't crashing I just put my head down and tried to get good practice in. By the time I was through T2 I had forgotten about it

both technically, since it's a track day with races. I treat all track days as race practice, especially if I have a race 20 minutes later

With the way my fairings are set up there's nowhere on the front I can put the camera to make it level without blocking my number plate, I'll check and see if I can set it up better before next race.
