Difficult Shifting
My 05 1000RR is getting more difficult to shift to 2nd, 3rd, 4th.... It's almost like the clutch is not disengaging all the way. It's got 2800 miles now. I ride it moderately fast, bypassing the clutch on the upshifts some of the times. The bike does not creep at a stop with the clutch disengaged though. The shift lever seems loose, as it wobbles slightly where it bolts to the engine, although the bolt is not loose. The linkage has no slop. The shift rod, where it exits the case, has a bit of slop. How does this compare with your bikes?
All replies are greatly appreciated.

RE: Difficult Shifting
Maybe your " speed shifting" has damaged one or more of the shift forks, bending them possibly, luckily the CBR1000RR has a casette style transmission and the motor does not have to be removed to access the tranny..either way it will need a mechanic to inspect the transmission if that is the case

RE: Difficult Shifting
Dinking around usually use the clutch but *****-to-the-wall running I don't. I've found the Honda gearbox to feel stout compared to my last 2 zooks and kawi. If you're shifter is real wobbly then maybe you just have a bad bearing -- that'll be a quicker and less expensive fix than the forks. Don't know if you're still under warranty or not.
Good luck!
