Default Hard/stiff up shifts

Today i go for a ride and when doing only up shifts with clutch all way in it so hard to pull up in the shifter i think i brusied my foot. I have never had this happen before and not sure whats up. Checked clutch cable and its good and it rolls fine while in gear with clutch in. It just so stiff to upshift only. Any ideas??? And oil is fairly new.

well you have to man handle the shifter n the F4i, it doesnt want to shift easily most of the time. But it shouldnt be that hard to up shift that you hurt your foot
