Shift Stalling at 5&6

I find my boots tend to interfere with some changes...just not pushing the lever firm enough. I may adjust the little rod to make it easier for the boot tip to get fully under the shifter....or I may just ignore it...or wear sandles/thongs LOL!

I agree with Steve as in have you adjusted foot levers to suit you? I had to drop the relative gear lever about 8mm in total to help stop false neutral between 5th and 6th... There is a slight increase in gear lever action as you go up in the gears but I put it mainly down to "lazy rider" syndrome lol meaning you are hitting cruise speed, bike is settled so your physical movements are more relaxed and less articulate.
Otherwise I wonder when was last service and how good is the oil cause old/thin oils can give gear change issues.

Hope this helps

I also find my gear changes are lazy when I'm busy doing other things....like texting or eating a whopper

I'm happy to cruise around at 80 in 6th cause the bike has the torque... it's not like it's a litre bike or 600 LOL

A friend of mine rode my Gen 2 a couple of weeks ago.
He normally rides a '08 Gixxer 1000 and his only comment was "why has it got 6 gears".
He said "drop it in 3rd and just leave it there".
So true....

With all that cheese I would have thought this thread would already be sticky.
