Probably a bent shift fork and/or worn shift drum = $$
Second tends to be the one that gets the most abuse.
Try some jaso rated oil (anti slip additive) see if it helps = cheaper
Don't be surprised if a mod moves this to the main page ......this is a
how to ........as in reference how to, thread, and not the ask a question how to .

Maybe by the time you've spotted it, you could already be...er....in too deep . I just freaked myself out with the mentals from that one, sorry .
Back on topic, does it jump out straight after selection, under heavy loads or just anytime? If it's straight after selection my money's on selector forks bent or worn and it's not quite going in to gear completely. If it jumps out after going in to gear properly then I'd say it's the drum. Either way it'd be a ***** of a job to do and exy to get it done for you. The oil fix might work for a while.
How long have you had the bike and is it getting worse?

All trany jokes aside , although it is hard for me not to drop one now ...lol
We do not seem to get many that do that ... most of the time its a case of not kicking them into second hard enough in the first place ...
I hit a false neutral hitting second on the odd occasion , but its caused primarily because om just being too slack on the shifter ...
As an experiment , you could try lowering the shifter one notch to see if it helps your foot to lock it in ...
If it is a trany issue , hmmm...? that's not a good job ...
I would explore your shifter position and shifting style first ...

I usually just kick it harder if it's not totally dead.
