Not sure if it is a characteristic of this bike. Occasionally over the past two rides my 02 Kat 600, has developed a 1-2nd gear shifting issue. Out of 20 shifts this may happen once. When I shift through 1->2, sometimes it only goes to Neutral instead of 2nd, I then have to repeat to get it to 2nd gear. The bad shift felt complete, and ending up in N is actually a suprise to me.
No problems anywhere else in shifting.
Would new oil help out the shifting? (BTW how is Mobil 1 MX4T Synthetic?) The bike was bought used this past April, the prior owner only put 1200 miles on it and then garaged it for next two years. I have not changed any of the fluids since purchase.
I also have no owners manual, so when does the break in period end? I have put about 1100 miles on it since purchase, riding normally.
