Slipping out of gear

[Larryblag]

My 1200RT Twin cam slipped out of 4th gear twice last night. Might have been a lazy foot on my part but I never had a single miss with the 1150.
Engaged 4th, power back on - jumped into 3rd - anyone else had this? Bike is 3 years old and only covered 10k miles. I've done about 500 miles since I got it.

What type of motor oil do you have in the RT??  I have seen this before on motorcycles that are using motor oil that are out of spec.

Which motorcycles & what oil?

Oil is whatever the BMW dealer put in it. He added a bit more when they did the cam chain adjuster and I've checked the level it's not too high  :-\.
Adjusted the gear lever a smidgen to rule out lazy foot syndrome. Been another 40 miles today and it's not happened again.

Gearbox is separate from the engine.  I would just go for a ride and make sure you are positive with your changes before looking further.

I'm an idiot. Of course it is. The fact that it has a single plate clutch and proper Bell housing should've reminded me I'm no longer riding a Japanese.
Thanks for your replies guys.

I'm still embarrassed  :-[
