Hi Guys. Got a problem with my shifter. I had a minor fall a while ago (lost the back wheel at 20 kmh round a corner in the wet, laid it over on its right side), and since then its been somewhat difficult to down shift occasionally. Thats the wierd thing, its not a regular occurence. Usually if I've been cruising for a while on one gear then go to down shift, it feels like its stuck, but when I try again, it clunks out of gear. its a little sticky on normal gear changes but its the down shifting thats really sticky. Any ideas what might be causing this? and how I can go about fixing it? Thanks in advance for any advice.

How's your oil look?

I would change the oil first.

+1 more... i was getting that almost exactly... fresh new oil change and after maybe 1km of riding it went back silky smooth ... well it was a bit better right away but after 1km was great!!

the oils not too bad. little dark. was gonna give it a service soon, so I'll do that and report back and see what difference it makes.

youd be surprised what minor services can accomplish

Hey guys, Better late than never for the reply. Gave the beast a good oil drain, then flushed it out with fresh oil and ran it a bit. Then drained it again and refilled with beautiful fresh fully synthetic, and all the problems have gone. Shifting is add smooth as a freshly shaven haven again. Lovely, LOVELY thing, this..

Niiiice!!! .. nothing like being that smooth!! .. now while you are shifting the shaven haven substitute... dont forget to keep a firm grip on your clutch lever! ... solid and smooth strokes should get you there like a champion!
