This may sound strange but depending on what shoes/boots you have on will cause you to not engage the gear lever with the right amount of pressure from your foot and can cause upshifting issues as well as downshifting issues. I found this out with my new heavy sole Harley boots over my worn in army boots. Took a little getting used too.

I though this was Normal. So ur telling me you can sit on your bike, start it, pull the clutch lever and just shift through gears sitting there?
