When is the last time you changed your oil? If you don't remember, change it. Put some synthetic in there as well.

Well since i havent changed the oil since ive had it and i asked my buddy when he changed it last and he doesnt remember i think its probably a good idea that i do that ASAP. I was going to do it yesterday but RT Cycle(Yamaha Dealer) here in town was closed and Southern Honda didnt have the oil filter for it so Im going down there today to buy the filter and change it tonight. What oil do yall suggest?

whoaaaaaaaaaaa change your oil.

I do it at least twice a season. amsoil full synth or repsol for me plz.

i doubt thats why your shifter is sticking though. probobly has more to do with your linkage arm or something. I suggest kicking your bike really hard.

A. Worn Bushing
B. Stretched or broken return spring.
C. Bent shift shaft (been dropped?)
D. SOme bikes have the shift shaft run exposed through the area next to the sprocket and if you don't clean it out once in a while you can get a buildup of sticky, gritty goo that can cause the same issue (Much like what is washing up on the Louisiana coastline)..clean the goo out and rinse with a little kerosene...

NOT a clutch issue.

The first gen R6's are notorious for transmission problems.

im actually running amsoil right now, high performance. its smooth like butter on a warm day.

Ask the dealer what they use when they change oil. Use that. That's what I use. The first gen R6s have a 2nd gear problem, this doesn't sound like a 2nd gear issue.
