I went on a trip the other day. We had been riding for about 18 hours off and on with fuel and coffee stops. Rode the bike across the Mackinaw Bridge for the first, and second time. Anyway at about hour 14 we got behind some dumb traffic that kept feeling the need to mash their brakes, then speed up again, nice line of seven cars. They mash their brakes, i pull in my clutch and coast. I drop a gear, then another anticipating the drop in speed, but they hit the gas again. I bump the gear up one again, now in fourth, I let out the clutch, the revs go up but no power to the wheel, like when i miss second and give neutral a try lol. I pull off to the side of the road and start down shifting till my N light came on. I didn't hear any grinding and I still had my leg so I figured it was not the chain. I was still rolling about 25mph so I shifted back into second and no issues. Rode another 200 plus mile with no problem and it has never happened before. Any ideas, or does somebody know what happened?
