The BackgroundThis is a 2009 EFI Royal Enfield G5 Classic. It currently has about 650 miles on the odometer. Its first service was performed at 400 miles last Friday, after which I took it to the beach and back Sunday.
The IssueTwice before that first service, while riding in city, I've shifted from 2nd to 3rd gear only to find myself in a sort of Neutral... engine was revving but the transmission wasn't catching. Dropping it down a gear and trying again resolved it. At the time I'd chalked it up to operator error.
During the beach trip, once on the way out and once again on the way back, I had shifted from 4th to 5th gear and found myself in the same situation. Engine revving but no transmission. In the first case I'd dropped it back to 4th, found nothing there as well, then down to 3rd before I got actual road power. A minute later I tried 4th again, got power, and then 5th, which also responded. On the way home it was merely 5th gear that went wonky on me.
This has happened a grand total of 4 times now, and being a non-mechanically inclined individual it's starting to make me very nervous. Is this a know issue, part of the break-in process? Have I already broken something? Warranty issue with the transmission?
