Funny, when I was newer to riding the OEM QS felt horrible and I was getting false neutrals etc so I switched to the H&M that I could adjust the sensitivity on, loved it, till it failed a year later, switched back to OEM but now have a lot more track experience and now love the OEM shifter…it works really well now for me…I think in the beginning I was lingering on the shift too long or whacking it too hard or something.
(Edit) Cause that’s what happens, newbies over eagerly whack it too hard.

What year is your bike that had the cutting out problem? Did it come with the heat insulation kit or was that dropped after 2021?

User error is definitely a thing. Sometimes I get a quick cut and it's always when my foot isn't completely out of the way and I'm exiting a corner into a flat out straight. My body is usually a bit back on the seat such brings my toe upwards(not race shift).
Once, a friend asked me to ride his bike to help him diagnose a problem. Turned out he got new boots and his shifts were not right.
Doesn't hurt to check the user and the linkage adjustment for height.

2022. Yep, no insulation from the factory. My 2019 V4R didn't have the insulation either.

I suppose with 2022 they changed the lower fairing which has the revised air duct. I don’t think the heat insulation came until 2020 or 2021.
