There's the gentle push and clutch and throttle way to get out of it which works. and the stomp, stomp, stomp which doesn't. Those that stomp sometimes break things.

No I dont stomp, anyway I though it felt a little spongier than my Honda it looks like it bent in the past and may have been cracked and it just so happened to break a week after I bought it. I guess I had that one comming. Well I took it off and welded it back new and the shift is far more crisp and the sponge feeling on the down shift is gone. I guess that was why I got the bike so cheap. lol
