Default shifting problem

Was hoping someone might have an idea on what might be wrong 2011 street glide sometime when i shift into 2nd it feels like the clutch is not full engaged and doesnt go smoothly into 2nd and it dosent do it all the time thought maybe the clutch wasnt adjusted properly but its only happens in 2nd gear any ideas?Using castrol 80W90 gear oil says safe for motorcycle transmissions

Did your problem start after changing oil or has this always been a problem? Possibly the oil itself or not the correct amount.

Make sure the clutch has been adjusted correctly!

Shifter arm may be loose and binding on inner primary case, shifting gets a little harder from 1st to 2nd.....I know!!
