Dont ride with your foot on the gear shift pedal, keep your foot on the rest until you wanna change gear

^^^ Wot 'e said - you should always ride with your gearchange foot either away from the shift lever entirely, or positioned in such a way as to make any accidental movement cause an upshift (usually with your toes under the lever). The reasoning is this - if you go over a bump that knocks your gearchange foot against the lever and you go down a gear, the over-revving engine may cause a rear wheel lockup, going up a gear won't do this.

There's nothing wrong with your bike, the gearbox design allows for clutchless changes a lot easier than a car box.

ah cool thats alot of worry off my mind! handy to learn tips like that, didnt get told that on the cbt! Thanks to you both for replying
