I could be wrong though.. Hard to tell when you are rained out...

3000 rpm isn't a high rpm shift at all. It's not even half-way. The redline is 8500rpm. It's not a car.
Has anyone noticed, when clutch-less up-shifting, that the gear shifter will hang, and you can't up shift again unless you put reverse load on the transmission (i.e. get off the gas)? Mine does this often enough to be annoying. I forget if it does it during high-rpm shifts, or just randomly, but I'm thinking the former.

Az,
I have never had that happen, there is such a small sweet spot when clutch-less shifting. You have to be off the gas but before any engine braking occurs and usually between 4000-7000 rpm's. I use the clutch below 4000 and above 7000 If its hanging up its not a positive up-shift.
