Lower the shifter a bit, you're not going through the entire stroke. It's what cured my false neutrals.

Mine and quite a few others did the same thing. There are a number of different opinions regarding this, I found when it was new quick shifting at low rpm (under 6k) I would get the odd false neutral and over rev it.
I had a play with the quick shifter when new but was advised to turn it off until I'd run up the kms and bedding in the clutch. So I followed the advice...
At first service I had the clutch bled, turned on the quick shifter and have not had a problem since, very cool.
However as I've said there are a number of opinions on what you should and shouldn't do, this is what worked for me

Hmmmm it is a virus, the heat thing gets into every thread,,, as for the shift issue, be more positive with the shift and don't use the clutch on the up shift after 4000 rpm, the quick shift and clutch action can conflict which feels like slip or over rev... Make sure u don't have the shift leaver set too fine... I found that on the odd occasion on fast changes of direction I can catch the shift rod with my foot and the engine will cut out... Had the same issue on the 675R, takes a little getting used to if its ur first bike with a QS... Doesn't help if u use race shift at the track and. Switch to road shift patten on ur road bike... Infact its a pain in the .......

As I pull into Starbucks I hang my leg out moto-gp style, cures the heat issue with left foot.
I don't use DQS unless I am going at least 1/2 throttle. DQS gives that split second when attempting to go fast. If I am not in a hurry, the clutch still works. Learn the clutch less up shift technique without the quick shifter, helps you understand when to use DQS.

Did they check it and what did they say?
^This. More important if you don't have big feet. I wear a sz 10 boot, and this was a must (and worked). The footpeg to shifter distance is pretty long on the Pani as well, considerably longer than any of my other bikes; meaning the stroke is longer. Of course Ducati had to make adjusting the shifter position twice as hard as it should be, since you cant just loosen the end nuts on the connecting rod and turn the middle to easily fine tune the position like you can with just about every other sportbike on earth. I think someone sells a replacement connecting rod with reversed threads on one end to make this possible, but it's kind of ridiculous that it doesn't come that way already. Forget for now where I saw that; will update my post with if I can remember.

Exactly what solved my problem when I ran into this.
