The shifter on my 2006 Suzuki C50 sticks on 3 or

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.

My gears work fine going up but not good coming down

Shift quadrant springs and cogs, and shift cam (the star) need to be inspected for damage, broken spring, or pieces fell out in case.

My 06 suzuki boulevard C50 will not take any gears they all seem to be neutral,anyone know what it could possibly be?

Possibly your clutch is worn beyond any usefullness, or is out of adjustment.
Could also be a broken shift linkage.

Installing a heel toe shifter on a suzuki boulevard c50, is there any springs on it?

Nothing external; it simply slips onto the splines of the shifter shaft. Since the Volusia became the C50 in '05, they have been stock, did a previous owner remove yours?

Gear shift sticks in park on suzuki forenza 2006

You may want to check the gear lock mechanism. This is the one that prevents you from moving from park when you accidentally hit the lever. If that checks out ok, you may want to inspect the linkages of the shifter to the transmission.

2006 suzuki forenza

The gear-shifter solenoid or brakelight switch has failed.

To check the brakelight switch, start the car and step on the brake. If the brakelights don't come on, the switch is faulty. You'll find the switch under the dashboard above the brake pedal.

If the brakelights came on, your shifter solenoid is probably bad. In this case, here's a quick-and-dirty fix to get you moving...

Look for a small plastic cover next to the gear shift. Pop this off with a fingernail or small flat screwdriver. There will be a hole beneath the cover. Push a small screwdwiver down that hole untill you feel some resistance. You should now be able to shift out of park.

Be warned...this trick allows a shift even without touching the brake. So get the solenoid fixed as soon as you can.

Good luck !

Gear stick has come out of socket suzuki vitara jx 1998

The shifter should have place for a nut and bolt, to where it clamps the shifter to the shifting rod.
