The shifter on my 2006 Suzuki C50 sticks in 3 or 4th gear on the down shift occassionally. I have applied Suzuki Moly paste to the sleeve bearing but it happened again. Is there a different lubricant I should use or is it a different problem?
Make sure that you are allowing the shifter to return to the center position each time you shift gears. If the shifter really is sticking try a lubricating oil that will flow rather than a paste. A paste won't get in tight places like a flowable oil will. You should also check to make sure that the clutch is adjusted properly. If it is not fully dis-engaging it will be hard to shift.
Another thing that comes to mind, if you have recently changed the oil, make sure that you didn't put the wrong oil in it. If the oil is too heavy it will shift hard, especially if it is cold.
