Hello all. I have an interesting one that I a not seem to figure out. My 2023 ZX10R with about 300 miles on is having an issue with The gear shifter. It is fine when up shifting but when I down shift it seems that the bike wont release the shifter to the next gear. I have noticed that if I release the clutch a little that is will release the shifter. I have had several bikes and this is the first time I have Had this issue. I will say, it doesn’t seem to be any rhyme or reason to the issue. It seems to be spiratic and in different gears. Any thought and advice would be appreciated. Thanks,

I think it sounds normal. Are you pulling the clutch to shift?
Yes. When I pull the clutch in the shifter will stay down verses "resetting" to shift down again...If I release it a little again if finally will release but it takes me several tries which isn't correct Anyway, I just took it back and they are looking into it. Thanks for the advice
