I was out riding Thursday afternoon. On my way back home I took the highway. As I took the off ramp and was downshifting I ran into a problem. I was in 6th gear, went fine/normal into 5th, and I continued to downshift down to first....but it didnt sound or feel right. Like nothing happened. I had a feeling that maybe I was still in 5th so I slowly released the clutch, sure enough the bike nearly stalled. So back in went the clutch and pounding with my left leg/foot to get the gears down. It went down 1 more gear. I'm running out of room before light at end of ramp. I kept slamming onto gear level till I think I feel it click all the way down. Light turns and I have no issue shifting up to 4th and back down again on regular side roads. So I take it back on highway, back up to top gear. Again I get off highway and it did it again, would not downshift as easily as I'm use to, but not as difficult as first time. I didn't play around with it anymore. I was tired from my ride and I was getting cold. Off the top of anyones head do you know what the problem could be? Maybe loose clutch cable or something? Clutch cable was new beginning of season. I only put 2k miles on it. Gears don't grind. Well, cept going up into second if I have the rpms too high. But I hear that is a common 1st gen R6 clutch problem. I am pretty sure that I had the clutch all the way in and I lifted my foot all the way off then depressed firmly when I was downshifting. I am hoping this sounds like a common problem and its any easy fix. Thanks for your help.
