Hi, not sure which section to post to, hope this is the right one, so here goes...

My bike is a 2003 Monster 620sie

I rode the bike yesterday on the M11 for a bit(not sure if it was even related), and on my way back, at the exit from A406 to A104(to Walthamstow), I changed down from 5th to 3rd, blipped the throttle, released the clutch, gears engaged very smoothly, then from 3rd to 1st, blipped the throttle, I heard/felt a click sound coming from the right throttle and the engine didn't rev up(at this time, clutch lever fully pulled in), blipped the throttle again, engine revved up, clutch released, gears engaged(liked it should be).

Engine about 110C at the time, everything seemed ok, about 3-4 sets of lights, in 3rd, change down to 2nd, blipped, engaged smoothly, then from 2nd to 1st, blipped again when the clutch in, only click sound and no response from the engine... blipped again, engine rev up, clutch release... and then fine all the way home.. the engine at anytime was nowhere near the limit, doing may be 50mph at 3rd gear

I am sure this is not normal, anyone has any experience on this? Is this a normal glitch or the something wrong with the bike?

The same thing happened last week in busy traffic, only once though. The "click" felt like something kicked in to stop the engine revving up...

Any ideas what happened?
