The problem started after changing the oil, I used Shell Advance SX (Synthetic Fortified API PerfomanceSG, SAE Viscosity 15w-50) as recommended by my Suzuki dealer *raises eyebrows*, after this I did a 1200km ride and had problems a couple of times shifting, after this ride it was parked up for 3 weeks or so unused, when I next took it out for a short blast it just would not shift into 3rd, after changing down and then up again I could sometimes pursuade it to change into 3rd.
When I say it wont go into 3rd I mean just that, the shifter just wont move up no matter how much force you put behind it.
I have had the bike running with the rear wheel off the ground (no load) and changed though the gears several times with no problems at all.
I have noticed that the oil is now darker and dirtyer looking than before I changed it... Could this be as simple as an incompatable oil... Or something more serious? Bent selector? (don't understand how that would have happened though)
This bike has been shifted clutchless on occasion, however it is a 2006 model that has done just under 10,000km.
I'm hoping someone is going to be able to confirm my oil suspicions as I really don't want to be stripping her down.
