I've never hit a false neutral on the 250... it's just been twice on the 600 shifting too lightly with the side of my boot.

-snap the throttle open quickly(your trying to rev match here but you don't have to be right on the money)
-let the clutch out slowly as the rpm is just starting to fall(at this point you can feel if your getting too much engine braking'
If you are getting too much engine brake repeat these steps until you get into a gear that is suitable for the speed you are travelling.

^^^This should all be done in a second or two

Atleast that is how I do it...

You should be revmatching before putting it into gear, even with the clutch pulled.

Should be:
-clutch in
-revmatch
-put into gear
-clutch out
 
This can be discussed to death but until you adjust the shifter to suit you it is all hot air.

Quickshift instead lol

At around 6k rpm or higher, apply pressure to the shift lever (pushing up), drop the throttle a little, click up with foot, and back on throttle!

Why does he need to be around 6,000rpm or higher?

He didn't say he needed to be at 6k rpm, just that you should be around that range to be able to conduct a clutchless shift. Low rpm clutchless shifts don't feel very friendly.

That's my point. You can shift without the clutch below 6,000rpm and (if done properly) will be very "friendly". It can be done at any RPM as long as the next gear won't drop the revs too low that the engine will be bogging down.

I've done it well under 3k rpm.

e 90 you had a 250 and have upgraded to a gixxer right???

you still find false neutrals??

Going too easy on the shifter will do it...Falking done it so many times now meself but coming out of it...

now my new method of showing I'm a noob is to try and ride away with the kickstand down!:p

Not all bikes have adjustable shift levers. Mine doesn't. Just saying.

You can adjust the lever on your bike, you don't have a rod connecting the lever to the shifter shaft, so instead you simply loosen the single bolt on the shifter(at the rear, near the engine) wiggle the shifter off the shaft, rotate a notch or two, wiggle shifter back onto shaft and replace/tighten the bolt. Just don't rotate too far, or it may hit the frame or engine, preventing you from shifting into all gears. Easy to play with and try different heights. :)
 
No need to be gentle with the shift lever. I literally slam the shifter on the dirt bike when I'm dropping gears,and yank them up solidly so I'm not worried about it popping out of gear. Once you've had it pop out of gear on the face of a jump or in the middle of a whoop section, you won't be "nice" to the lever again.

Pretty easy actually, riding from one workplace to another kinda get used to it.

The day i forget to use my work boots will be the day something heavy lands on my toes.

Because it makes you mad.

(Because telling someone who's never tried quickshifting at a lower rev and doing it wrong will scare the **** out of him).

Also, I know he has a gixxer, who the hell shifts at 3k rpm on a gixxer...hell, ANY supersport? There's a reason why most of us have slip-ons.
