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.

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.

Only had the bike a Month. And i just assumed he had changed it recently. But i Changed it yesterday and it seems fine today. So that was probably all it was.
