Shifting w toe hard, heel easy

[Sandbagger]

I have a 2000 RSV.

Suddenly yesterday it was very difficult to downshift.

Upshifting with my heel remained easy.

Seemed to be easier to downshift if I was at lower speeds.

After riding for several hours it worked back to normal.

If it is a linkage issue any idea how I would adjust it?

Doesn't seem that it would be an internal issue because I didn't feel or hear anything.

Thanks for your thoughts.

Only problem with shifting I have had is when the shifter mounting bolt was loose...

might be time to do a oil change

I'd take a good close look at the shifter linkage for sure to start.

Lubricate the shift linkage.

That was the problem.

Thanks and good job.
