That sounds like something that'd be kinda not worth...
what if you were in the middle of a run and it dropped? Ghetto...
any way to prevent that? is it just the lighter the wheel, the more likely to drop?

That only happens when you drop from high rpm to neutral, and the engine revs all the way down to where it would idle...it wouldn't happen during a run. I've had it almost happen to me a few times, but not often. I'm usually not going from high rpm to neutral.

Ugh, like we've been saying, it only happens when you go from a high RPM to neutral, and it will drop to idle super fast. Don't do that, and you wont have a problem.
