Shifting issue

[jammer]

I guess this is a two part question.
First sometimes my bike doesnt shift smoothly into 6th gear. It seems to grind and then fall in but sometimes it falls back to 5th. I wonder if i am shifting at two low rpms(5k-6k). This never happens if I do a clutchless shift.

Second my bike only has 500 miles will the clutchless shifts cause problems. I am a new rider so any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Thank God you just got it. Sounds to me like something mechanically Yamaha should fix under warranty.

Dang. I was hopin i was just doin something wrong.

Maybe all you need is to adjust the shifter down a bit. Most than likely you don't lift all the way to the end of the stroke. If the barrel don't rotate enough it will not go up to the next gear...

And she's still not even broken in... give her some time, she'll loosen up.

Thanks Marthy. Be hitting you up in a couple months for an exhaust.

def. not normal. I did not have anything like that when i got mine. if its doing that the entire first 500 miles id have the stealer look at it. Your shifting in a good range for break in period there is nothing your doing wrong.

I would take it in, if all the other gears seem fine and it's only 6th, have it checked out.

Be goin in for the 600 mile service soon so I am gonna have them take a look while I am there.

I'll have to pay more attention next time I use 6th. I almost never use it, but will make a point next time I take her to work. Been riding to work almost everyday except when calling for rain (tomorrow). I don't think I've ever had any issues though when I do decide to use it. Hope you get the problem resolved.

Rode some this weekend and only had the problem if I shifted Really quickly. I am thinking once I get the break in oil out and start winding out more this will be a non issue.

Yeah, could be. Go full synthetic.

Shifting is night and day better. I have Mobil 1 4t racing 10w40, but any full synthetic will do

While new or better oil might help, if your bike is new, that should be a moot point. I bought mine new last year, and shifting has been beautiful since day 1. No troubles in any gears at all, I find it to be really really smooth. I sure have made mistakes that are just my mistake, but honestly it doesn't sound like you are doing anything wrong. Definitely get that checked.

Agree, shifting will get better, but shouldn't be bad with only a few miles on it. Never really had problems with shifting, but got smoother with synthetic oil.

Update. After clutch and shifter adjustment problem solved.
