Shifter is sticking!!!!!!

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.
