Anyone ever have 3rd gear pop out/ neutral out under hard acceleration???
Bike has done it twice and it seems fine now, however the fact it did it has me concerned and Im looking for any ideas.

The clutch seems to be holding fine... The bike pulls like a freight train until it just lets go for a moment and then it seems fine again. Worse part is it wont do it everytime.

I have a 05 ridgeback sometimes jumps out of 1st into neutral.

My 05' chopper did it twice when it was new. Hasn't done it since.

Mine's done it a couple times but I didn't think twice about it, figured I just didn't engage it fully, no biggy

Common issue.............. fix is to adjust the shift pawl a smidgen
least most of the time

I found this explanation in one of our threads: Shifter Pawl Adjustment - Club Chopper Forums
