Suspected the rear switch. Time to get the Haynes manual out.

Oh goody, an oil thread.
Darrsi.........!
-- For smoother gear changes make sure the pedal is at a low enough angle to make it easier for your toes to give it a good positive upwards "click". When I first got the bike I found that I kept missing up-changes and hitting neutral. I lowered the lever a cm and never had the problem again.
-- For cornering it really helps if you keep your knees tight on the tank, your upper body loose and toes on the pegs...for right handers, push with your left foot on the peg and right hand on the bars and vice versa, in other words countersteering.
Have a read of the "Full Control" PDF I've just stuck in the Downloads section, it's very good.
#1 It helps if you change early from 1st to 2nd, ie. no higher than 4k rpm
#2 What's the problem? I change from 6th to 1st without releasing the clutch in between.
Rear wheel steering!
(well, not quite, shut up Marquez,,,)
I actually played with this a little today (safely and slowly i may add) and quite effective i thought. Quite how much this will creep into my day to day riding remains to be seen

So much oomf in the thing, haven't stretched it outside of 6,000 rpm yet!
You'll notice when you do mate.
I'm in pretty much the same boat as you. Passed my tests almost 4 months ago and bought a 600 straight after. I love the kick up the arse you get when it hits 7,000!
